Just keep track of the big ticket items and make sure to carry a bit more than you think something costs to fix.After having done a few flips, I don't really need to look at kitchens and baths, it is fairly easy to get a price figured out for one just by knowing the area and quality of the finished product.

Once you claim in on your tax returns then a lender will calculate your income based on a formula that takes into consideration the amount of insurance, taxes, mortgage interest, and some other line items on your Schedule E portion of your tax returns.  

It'll hopefully put more pressure on the debtor to get their rent paid knowing everyone else there see's they are obviously behind.If you boot it, I bet you could structure the lease language in a way that would require payment of the rent in full for the boot to come off, plus the boot fee, because like you suggested the parking would be the last item funds would be applied to.

Then they are taking food out of my family's mouth and I will do everything in my power to legally get them out ASAPThis way I don't have to worry about violating the amount allowed for late feesIn reality the rent really is only 1050 so if they pay late I get a bonus. 

These two Meetups are something I build over years of holding events, promoting, paying for venues, food, drinks, etc...

You'd pay more in taxes obviously, but it will help you with the refinance.Even though you are not showing much profit on your properties, there are certain items lenders can give back to you to beef up your net rental income on those properties, so again, have a lender review them for you.That will give you a good starting base to see if you can qualify by yourself.

Sometimes when people have identity theft they will enter a statement that is included with the report so people know why certain tradelines and other items are listed on the report.
