In reality, lenders should permit a large portion of this to be added back, as they do with typical depreciation (whether you agree that is correct for a bank to allow this add-back or not).(2) Converting personal expenses to business deductions, whether it's the proper treatment or not (home office dedutions, meals, travel, cell phones, etc.)I would work to become bankable as soon as possible.

Here's the thing, property management will place a qualified tenant, but you would place someone you can get along with.With a cell phone you can easily get a repair done by someone and not pay a markup for the phone call.Just food for thought.

Idk why, but a service that gets me great cell phone records in Texas might suck in Ohio and vice versa.
