As if it's common knowledge, which it is not. 

Finally, in situations like this, where Bob is taking the loan solely, is a common selling point to Bob the ability to do the same thing as I mentioned before with taxes in order to offset his DTI based upon the income the property produces?

But, if have a "normal" salary, I would not recommend this route. 2) The common investor route, buy properties with a mortgage on them.

It seems to be a fairly common practice.

I feel that the insurance topic is a not so commonly discussed topic on the forum so I'm just doing my part to share and hopefully specialists like you will help steer investors away from my type of incidents.

@Brennan Vaughn you made an all-too-common mistake.

In fact this is probably the most common cause of flickering lights, other than bulbs not being screwed in all the way.

Your hard costs start with your $2100 mortgage, but you may have some other costs such as any utilities provided by the municipality (commonly garbage or sewer but sometimes others).

A TIC is a property that you own as a tenant-in-common with other owners. 

I don’t find that to be common practice.
