The results were pretty much identical.

With identity theft I can understand being concerned with protecting your SSN... but this info is required to properly screen tenants.... background check, credit history, work history, income verification etc etc.So if they wont provide it to get those things...

I use that example since I just PAID a $750K wholesale fee last year to an investor who put in the reps, and had a smoking self storage deal under agreement for a steal... and I was HAPPY to wire them the funds.

I also have LifeLock for identity theft protection, could that be a write off on my schedule E as well?

The Fair Housing Act is what applies to privately owned property (with the exceptions Bruce listed above) and it forbids discrimination against prospective tenants because of their disability as well as race, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), skin color, familial status, and national origin. 

Gonna have to steal this... file this one away up my sleeves for the future.

It also watermarks all my photos which has eliminated scammers from stealing my listings.I tried the lockbox / self-showing feature but stopped after two months.If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Once we have a completed application, we verify income (by calling the employer and/or with paystubs), verify previous address history (this will show up on the credit check, we ask about any addresses that show up on the credit check but are not listed on their application), and verify identity by requesting a copy of their photo ID to make sure their info matches the application and screening reports.Next, we run credit, criminal, and eviction reports.

So I paid $7,000 and then $8,000 for two garbage programs, one that folded three weeks in stealing my money and removing all their content from online, the other was just a hoax. $15,000 down the drain that could have been used towards the down payment on another property.

Based on the post, I'm not sure if the units are identical.
