Did the insurance company pay the claim?

I did file a claim with my INS which provides coverage because the tree fell and damaged my fence.

They claim to be much more specific, which makes you think they are more valuable, but in the end my response rate has about the same, but with a higher cost and less mailings sent out. 

There is a slight possibility it could show up on Auction.com as the bank could try to sell before they collect on the mortgage insurance claim and transfer to FNMA.  

If the property is no longer an OO and you have a claim, they may not pay.  

My agent told me that if an investor were to just buy a standard policy and a claim is made on vacant property with work in progress the insurer won't pay a cent.     

Section179 simply lets you claim the full depreciation Now, as opposed to being spread out over 5-7 years.  

Just to clarify though -- "the spot" is not visible or wet/soft to the touch (in my opinion) -- it's just an area that he claimed was damp.

It is difficult to acquire personal property as a business, but you can quit-claim deed it to an LLC shortly thereafter.  

Wayne & Natalie - I've been trying to confirm this issue for some time now and I fell across the attached IRS document and if I'm reading it right, page 17 exert b. claims that If i've lived in the house for less than 2 years, I can indeed prorate it by the number of days lived in the house out of the 730 days in a 2 year period.
