I've got a big fat 0 properties. 

they will NEVER say what they will pay.. they want you to say what you want up front in the hopes that your stupid have no clue and they will rip a fat deal.. ( you know this is true LOL)  So on this house in Balt city its rented 1000 a month worth at least 70 to 80k ..

Hi Wendy, what is interesting here is that the owner received a pretty fat check.Now the owner has to deal with the structure!

This got put on the back burner for a bit.

Currently has oil heat with an undersized old oil burner.

Just remember, pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered, and do onto others as you wish to be done onto you.

My question is in order to use my rental income to offset some of the monthly mortgage payment debt and improve my DTI, do I need to show 2 years of rental income and take no deductions on my tax returns, paying a fat tax payment.

Then, you need to call in the appropriate vendor, repair person, or replace the appliance.For example, the policies/brochures that I have seen say (from memroy here) that for a forced hot air furnace they don't cover the burners, the fan / fan motor, the induction motor, the controller electronics, the ductwork, and the heat exchanger. 

Nobody gets fat from one piece of cake.

Then, I'll focus back on total returns until I have enough capital to trade into properties that produce $100k a year for my fat FIRE.
