Although the guy who is handling it did not know me so I am not sure I got any special treatment.. but we are for sure going to get this help to get through this.. and keep my staff working..

It is important to set the condition at the start of each lease, with date-stamped photos, in case there is any doubt or dispute.Also, professional cleaners will be able to tell you if they see animal urine (black light) or recommended stain treatments/etc. and it was declined.

Stated another way, to get the favorable tax treatment for gains on your homestead if you live there for 2 of the last 5 years, would I be ok?

For instance, I've seen several people post on these forums saying that holding property in an LLC doesn't have any tax consequences because of a flow-through treatment of taxes. 

Woody has made no claim for section 195 treatment. 

My own LLC (LLCDave) gets the passthrough treatment since it's a single proprietor LLC, but what about 123 Main St LLC?  

And when questioned on treatment of the property or complaints of other tenants, the accusations and text essays flew. 

I was laid off in 2012 and diagnosed with cancer 3 months later while on unemployment (yes, I just celebrated my 5-yr survival!).  

My original land lord passed away from cancer at a young age.

IE installing septic systems in many different scenarios and building a compact treatment plant for a subdivision we developed in Rural Nevada county CA.
