In that case, the taxpayer had individuals testify to his character and work in court, which is an unusual scenario and highlights the difficulty of making such a claim.If the TP cannot qualify for REPS, they may still be eligible to claim material participation in the deals, even with less than 5% ownership in some of them.

It is the only option, save for some highly unusual circumstances.

Even though carpets are professionally steam cleaned between tenants it is not unusual for someone who does not have a pet to walk in and comment about a pet odor (and this does not have to be from animal "accidents"; but simply from a pet living in the area.)Ironically I do animal rescue myself (cats and dogs) so no carpet in my house! 

Somewhat unusual situation: we are in escrow on a property, and the current lender was going to underwrite the new loan.

And there tend to be more unusual expenses with these types of properties like high flood insurance, higher homeowners, high regime/HOA dues if in a development, etc.

It seems unusual that the units would be very different in prices if they are all part of the same condo floor plan.

It is a small market with a population around 30k, but since we have so many connections in the area, it really helped get something unusual like this off the ground.

The lending market is quite competitive these days and you might be able to find a 30-year fixed if you have the personal income to support the loan.Without knowing the particular details on the unit it's hard to give a full opinion, but if it's in Boston proper, even an unusual unit should sell relatively quickly at the the right price.

I believe that's why most title companies ask for an explanation if the dated date on the deed is unusually early than the recorded date and may refuse to rely on the recorded deed and require a new one to insure title.
