I want an lender who is familiar with what I'm doing.How many properties can I purchase before I have to find an alternative financing mechanism. 4 seems to the limit for the big commerical banks.So how about you dear fellow investors?

These are mechanical systems that use a master key (a real, physical key) and a tool (a pointy metal toothpick thing).

@Edward AdamsWhile economically your loss is $1,500, and your ultimate tax deduction is $1,500, the mechanics are far more complicated.I assume that your roof was damaged and therefore replaced.

I am a mechanical engineer in the product design business and am looking to begin my rental property investing business in the next 8-12 months.

Figure out a way to maximize your wealth situation without a built-in excuse mechanism. 

Just thinking through some of the mechanics before making a terrible mistake.

Same exact mechanism and logic.

The age of the mechanicals and roof go a long way in determining how much should be put away for CapEx.  

Provides a mechanism to collect rental taxes and remit to the Arizona Department of Revenue.

The reduction in mechanicals allows for a quieter and lower maintenance home, and the building method also creates healthier air for the occupants(great for people with breathing issues like asthma.)MG
