Hi all, have a situation here where the contractor that did the work on my property is now threatening to file a lien and also call the city for multiple code violations because I am not agreeing to pay the full amount of his last draw.

rent redi promo code ?

Do a search by zip code or town. 

@Ryan Deasy Yes, if you qualify as a real estate professional under the tax code, then your rental losses are not limited to $25k. 

It's a beautiful property and I'm sure you will get some great rental rates in the 92104 zip code.

They claim to go off the International Property Maintenance Code but when you ask for specifics (like downspout length that is not in the book) they have a cute little law that basically says whatever they say goes.

Double check with your local codes to be safe and go get it done. 

The code guys are jacks too.

The answer to that question can only be determined on a house-by-house basis;  i.e. how well has the current owner taken care of the property or what kind of investment are you willing to make to get a property up to modern-day codes? 

@Will Zena did they provide zip codes or addresses?
