.   :-) Thanks again for your wonderful write-up and much luck on the rest of your investing journey.

Coinbase alone has over 20 million accounts as of this writing.4.

LOL.)Another question that comes to mind related to all this is if we can claim any sort of tax write off for the vacancy if it wasn't technically a rental home during that period? 

They write up the contract and you sell itBUT believe it or not, thanks to Dodd Frank law it is illegal to sell for more than if a person was going to get their own financing.  

Yeah you could find something on Craigslist or at a used appliance store but if your like me you don’t want phone calls on a Sunday night that the fridge is dead .theres no sense In buyIng used outdated archaic junk wIth a questIonable servIce when new at just a couple hundred more , you get a warranty Its a wrIte off Its more effIcent and It Isnt lIkely to fail .

Besides bullet proof vests and mace spray is a tax write off !

Quickbooks cost me 21$ a month well worth the time saved and a tax write off.

Do you have an agreement in writing?

@Renat Stella that's most likely a tax issue, they must rent it for 6 months to be able to write off the loss in a more advantageous way.Would you mind sharing the contact you talked with? 

I think you are dealing with an attorney who is writing his own contract of sale.
