That insurance itself was a challenge to find because the company before that refused to renew the old policy since we had to make a couple of fairly large claims to them.

The interest on the mortgage payment is a business expense, by claiming this expense in my business records, my tax liability is less.

I have a tenant claiming they don't have to pay rent nor due they have to pay late rent or past due rent so they claim mandated by govenor of Indiana.   

Benefits.gov claims to offer assistance.

I have over 13k monthly in rent and it took almost six months last year to get the only debt on the properties refinanced (approx 380k) because they claimed my DTI was not sufficient.

Without a value add, the SFR to quad purchased at retail (MLS) is cash flow negative when using realistic expense estimates (contrary to what a few people claim, but when called out on it decide they do not want to publish their numbers). 

If we were able to claim what you suggested, all investors would be super happy!

The lease is standard boilerplate claiming both individually and collectively responsible for the rent.

But they can claim that they did not know they need to pull a permit? 

I have not made an issue of it, but I have informed him I need documentation validating his claims.
