I tried changing useful life to 1 year but it doesn't change the line to show as an in year expense.

Sewer line backup, ordinance & law, and replacement cost coverage are coverages I include. 

I was at the airport this past week flying to visit family and in TSA precheck line they scan your license in a machine and take a photo of you. for some reason mine was not working and it basically had like an alert on it. they ask me if I have another form of ID on me.

You will also want to make sure your fees are in line or below market and your pics are excellent.Check out Tripshock also for tix.Good luck!

And no matter what, keep an eye on how your financing structure lines up with your exit strategy.Where do you see the biggest risk.. sinking money into improvements or letting the buy back linger too long?

All fees seemed right in line with industry standard, ($9.95/mo, per entity + one-time registration fees). 

We rerouted  two waste lines that ran from the top floor to the basement se we could reclaim some space that had been unusable.  

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

On utilities, I bought a foreclosure in NJ and found out it was not attached to Town sewer and I actually had to extend the main line up to my property then put the lateral in and abandon an old cesspool.  

Take out an equity line of credit on the property that can be sides as the down payment for the primary residence.
