When you raise the rent the tenant may request an explanation and it’s very easy to explain that in order to continue to service them and respond to their requests you need to charge them more. if your average rent is $1,000 per unit and the average tenant calls 2 times per year why is it fair to the good tenants that this troublesome tenant to call 50+ times per year and pay the same rate? 

@Charles Baker Bryan gave a great explanation.

RandyThank you for such a thorough explanation Randy!  

Thanks for the explanation.

Applicability of the tax or legal principles discussed in this material may differ substantially in individual situations.Thank you very much for the comprehensive explanation of the tax related details and the advice for Drew Sygit.

They have reviews, screenshots, explanation videos, reviews, etc.Example: https://www.etsy.com/search?

The explanation is fine, but the info is dated and non applicable for today. 

Each time you take another "chunk" off of the mortgage your regular payments also become that much more efficient.Hopefully, that covers the explanation, but I told you there was proof, so here you go.

Your examples and explanations help a lot to clear up the original question, specifically clothing items.Do you recommend I keep a record, separate from my P&L, of purchases that may be less-than-ordinary, such as a cargo box to carry tools in my truck, or car seat protector covers (to protect my truck seat from getting dirty from tools and other items), etc.?

I think there's a lot I can still take from your experiences though, so I appreciate your in-depth explanation!
