After all, you do not want a tenant living in your property who does not want to be there, or cannot financially support the monthly payments.With all of that said, my greatest advice is to get a lease termination agreement in writing.

I've noticed many investors initially write their contracts under an LLC, only to later amend the contract to their personal name to secure better financing options.

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Russell Brazil: The email and acknowledgement serve as the mutually agreed release in writing.

While all the posts have at lease some legitimate points, I personally believe camp 1 is missing the opportunities present to protect assets under US law mostly because they don’t either understand asset protection, or don’t want to bother with it, so rather than do a proper evaluation they dismiss it as something that won’t work to justify their unwillingness to entertain the idea.Camp 2 is deluding themselves - which delusion has been enhanced by charlatans writing books, giving seminars, and selling packaged plans all of which either attempt to hide your assets or hide the ownership of your assets.  

I tend to write off physical expenses to the building and do not write off expenses associated with personal effects.
