To give every one an idea my current lender is give me a 20% bonus for my non taxable items which in San Diego is quite a substantial sum of money.

I am going forward with evictions , once the 45 days are up on the MH please get your bids together for the items in the house to be removed .

If you're going to deduct large repair expenses on your taxes, you can create a separate line item for those renovations and match up the numbers with your invoices.

And since it's plumbing and heating, it makes sense because it's usually big ticket items and maintenance.

There are items that will cost more like air compressor, freon, stuff like that.  

My Section 8 unit failed inspection with 45 items, some as small as chipped paint.

This could be on the back of a notepad but obviously you won't have covered all the items to help a title company close the loan. 

I closed on a $50k house here in VT and pulled up my HUD, and here's what I have:- credit reporting fee $15- flood zone determination fee: $25- Documentation fee: $350- Attorney fee (incl title search): $1,000- recording fee: $150- wire transfer fee: $40.This does not include insurance prepayments, utility deposits, or items like that. 

All of those relatively small items, don't worry me (smoke detectors, strapping water heater, etc.). 

To me it's just another item to maintain and for them to break.
