Inspect the property to determine what is causing these problems and document what the tenant is doing to cause them.Your lease should include a statement that the tenant is responsible for ordinary pest control.

The fines are real (we had a Client on the brokerage end that accumulated $20k in fines, all of which were attached to the property and came out of her net proceeds at time of sale), do not ignore themI think the most important item is to hire an attorney to get moving on the eviction

I will make sure I include it in all future literature.

I am certainly afraid of the unknown, which would include those fees eating up the equity that I have built to date.

Buyer's Agent - If you are the buyer's agent, generating interest in potential clients is really important right now. 

It may not be a simple DTI calculation but rather including your liquidity and assets into account - which may be a little complicated.

@Michael CaldwellI think the type of transaction is more important than potential tax consequences.

Hello,Can I include rental loss in my tax filing for last 3 months of 2023?

I could probably rent it for $750-$1000 per month over what the standard monthly costs are right now (not including vacancy, maintenance, management company, etc).

It includes a primary residence, as well as a detached garage/storage area in the backyard that I am looking to convert into an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit).
