Having a landlords son do this is even worse, because they are in a position of power over your living situation.

Based in Australia for the most part and given the nature of our property market and my personal investment goals the US market holds more appeal to me.Stumbled upon this place thanks to the power of Google when looking for more information and looks to be a great community and resource for learning!

In short, a preforeclosure is only identified when a is pendens is filed.

More power.

That may be but we have a son with a powerful gaming computer, a smart TV, several tablets, a laptop, and five phones in my house.

I’ve got several properties in Austin earning both cash flow and appreciation, providing a powerful combo.

Now after they took 5 months to resolve it, they don't want to cover that many months in rent abatement.The documentation is clear the insurance company did everything in their power to not pay and short pay.

But VA renovation loans are such a small segment of the market that I think you will have a hard time getting this on the radar of the powers that be.

@Jacob Powers, Much of this is going to be state specific in how it's handled. 

If it's your residence, you can deduct the mortgage interest, and property taxes up to a cap of 10K on state and local taxes (if the Democrats get back in power, this cap may disappear again).
