Pretend you got a $1000 per month at work.

But also, they aren't as cheap as they like to pretend to be.   

Pretend you didn't hear it.

I'm not going pretend that I understand anything about how the tax side of things work, but I was reading this article the other day by Michael Plaks (not sure how to tag people, sorry).https://www.biggerpockets.com/...One of the things that caught was the topic of depreciation recapture. 

. ($1395 to $1950) and ($1125 to $1495)in my head I simply applied the security deposit towards repairs and pretended I didn’t get rent that month.

Perhaps you can pretend the seller is a grouchy client who insists on Comic Sans. lol, right?

Again, pretend you still own it and are working with this PM......So if the PM came to you and told you they hadn't noticed that the tenant had bounced a check.... or hadn't paid the rent.... but it was six months ago....oops......my bad...... but had paid out the rent to you..... what would be your response?

I have no idea and wont to pretend I have an idea about how to time market cycles.

@Michael Noto I understand not throwing the other tenant under the bus as others have suggested, but I can’t tip toe around and pretend that I was in the neighborhood stopping by..oh I smelled it while I was driving by.

My attorney (who is pretty aggressive by attorney standards) told me to just pretend it was there...
