Yeah that sounds like a stretch.  

Could if be considered their fault , I believe that is a big stretch .

Most go out of business.Hope that helps,Sam ShuehSam this is a great point.. when folks ask why a rental is lost to foreclosure there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff and one of them is the business owner who finds themselves in trouble and now has to rip his rents and not pay his mortgage this was very prevalent in those days.. and it happens even today.. just too tempting when you have a bad stretch.. so then you have a foreclosure gets posted on the door and most of the time the tenant leaves  and there you go a vacant home

If you bought a TV that you use to watch the highly educational programs on HGTV - then it's a stretch, at best.I doubt that your $12k rental business needed $20k of some business-only equipment.If you bought something that is only partially used for business, like an iPhone or power tools - then you can only deduct the business portion (percentage) of such equipment.

@Lucy Balyan, the rain has been pretty significant this year, but there've been some pretty nice stretches as well.

Hi @Eric RosielloMy seasonal cottage seems to rent out mid June to end of August with maybe a week or short stretch of days vacant.

@Jordan Decuir if the appraisal is important to you, to protect yourself, I'd stretch the option period a bit and have an appraisal ordered right away (appraisers here are VERY slow and the turn around time would be fast). 

I ask because I've been told that disabling the instant book feature buries your listing in the search results, but have also been told if you leave the instant book feature on you could end up with long stretches (i.e. 2-3 weeks) of vacancy in between Medium term tenants so I'm just curious about best practices to balance these variables. 

There will  almost certainly be a backlog stretching out the normal eviction timeline so I'm trying to get clients in the front of that queue as much as possible. 

Stretches with no electricity or hot water.
