Again this would only be advantageous if they intend to leave it as inheritance since the replacement property would get the same step up basis treatment and they'd get hit with huge capital gains if they sell.My firm does cost seg and it generally starts to make sense on property over $200K less land value.

Even if the tenant has a mental disability requiring treatment with an emotional support animal, it is unreasonable to expect you to suffer the consequences of dropped insurance.If you get sued, it does work in your favor that the animal was not presented to you as an Emotional Support Animal.

The man will or should be very happy  you  are willing to work with and value his renting from you....On your next lease to this man require proof of the spay and neuter and shots, rabies ect. proper flea treatment is use on the original dogs. 

Orkin likes to make you sign up for a full year of quarterly or bi-monthly treatments.

And I made the mistake of not following up consistently on annual treatments/termite inspections.Years go by and upon a normal township inspection, the inspectors found there were active termites in there.

Great question @Terri Dyer, the answer is it depends :)Property that qualifies for 1031 treatment is property you purchased with the intent to hold for productive use as investment. 

Used to be (and in some blocks still is) a run-down, drug infested mess.But there are signs of life, too--REAL art wall murals have replaced the typical gang graffiti; specialty coffee shops open next to bodegas, art galleries opening, and blocks and blocks of beautiful brownstone buildings. 

Expect broken cabinet doors/hinges, holes in walls, broken window treatments, stained carpets, and walls that need complete repaint.  

A good word of mouth recommendation generally contains this "You gotta rent from that Paul drug screening guy, his places are fully furnished, stocked and it's cheaper than any motel. 

I do the pre-employment drug screens and that's how I find tenants.There is another guy in town that rents houses to college students that are in the lineman program.
