I'm just exploring, gaining knowledge and conducting research before I pull the trigger on anything.

It would be tough to make the case that you work more hours than your property manager, which is my best guess (for someone who is not a tax professional) as to what triggered the audit. 

If there are multiple doors then I'd just lock it in a way that makes the door unusable 

I think the question is whether you want to look like a threat to the police and other trigger happy wannabe vigilantes (yes, could be one of your tenants).

That being said life isn't black and white if its keeping you up at night don't do it but I think you will be surprised at how easy and not scary it is once you pull the trigger.

There is a lot here that he needs go over, such as are you cashing out, looking to lock rate, is there pre pay, do you want community or agency?

I use a Personal Finance Sheet on the Daily, so all my finance have been cut back as much as possible. 2) We locked in a 6.875% rate, So rolling my CC loan into the home verse the 11.99% is a big difference and taken advantage of the write off via the interest would help.

I would lock in a solid profit.

One example is the great thing about using the Kwikset locks with smart technology.

The only thing we suggest to our guests is if they are able to start the dishwashwer before they leave it is helpful to our cleaners, but otherwise just lock the door when you leave and have a safe trip home.
