I am living in an owner occupied triplex, with rents of $800/month and other tenant pays $975/month.Would this therefor add an additional $975 + $800 x 12 = $21,300 to my "income" for calculating this write off?

I am all for not collecting them to reduce liability and making the credit check a soft inquiry so it doesn't hurt the applicant but if you collect the SSN when signing the lease how do you verify that it is their actually SSN and not just a made up number?

So, I've been looking at the site more for additional tips, tricks and anything I can learn. 

Of course, there are still ways to get scammed doing this, but sharing incentives and ownership such that there is skin in the game GREATLY reduces these risks.

Does that reduce their borrowing capacity for future opportunities? 

The next property I used the credit on was also shut down because of other requirements that "pop up" unexpectedly in order for them not to lend.I have asked several times for a refund of my money and all they have offered was an additional year's subscription.

Additionally, you may have to give a right of first refusal to the evicted tenant(s) to move back in if the re-rental is done within two years.  

Please talk to a local CPA.In addition regarding the 2nd question if you can re-sale the tax deed certificate. 

It would just be outside pictures as I will mostly use this as research for an additional source in deciding whether to buy a property or not. 

.- Reduced transfer fees since the corp could be transferred in possession of all properties, instead of 5 individual transfers.
