Honestly the words were clear prior to hitting the submit.

But if not, it seems it would be hard to prove that something was entered way back in January, versus a few days prior to tax time.

I'm stalling here because I keep coming across private lenders that want me to submit my app with the deal BUT I was taught through numerous sources that I should have funding lined up prior to going for the deals.

Looks like the key is to count from the date the rental became available, expenses prior to that date I listed as depreciable improvements. 

This would prevent them from vacating the property prior to the end of the prepaid rent term and the tenant requesting a refund of rent they would claim would be "unused". 

My community has a large retiree population, and from prior experience with a business that I owned, I know that they enjoy the power associated with their positions.

When I first met 1st floor tenant prior to the purchase of the building, she complained about the noise made by the 2nd floor tenants, and told me she was looking to move out. 

These and any addendums stipulate all rules, regulations, duties and termsthis an that shouldbe evaluated and renewed every year.No tenant should move in or take possession of a property prior to all prior to all conditions of the lease for move in being met.  

Then on top of that, the owner knew of the problem(s) prior to renting the unit.

@Katya Holrigien I am still learning how things are done here in the state, but when I, as an owner of a personal property in Canada, was selling prior to moving here to the US, my new husband had to sign some sort of Dower release.
