The judge will decide whether the service person's status in the military materially affects his or her ability to pay the rent.

You can find most if not all of these outstanding materials thru Bigger Pockets.

Larger concern is the toxic materials are released and can be absorbed through your lungs, eyes or skin.

@Mindy JensenThat's great news for all as it shows that the vibrant BP community is neither static nornear its peak.There are a myriad of solid reasons why so many souls are eager to join BP, such ascommunity help and guidance, proof of others' accomplishments, camaraderie with like minded individuals, trove of educational material for free  to name a few.In joining BP newcomers and returnees invest their time in something that can bear financial fruit only by them taking action as they embark on their REI journey.

If your spouse qualifies as RE, then you can deduct renta losses that meet material participation requirement.

@David WillisYou can deduct all business expenses that are not specifically connected to this house.Non-deductible: labor and materials, permits, plans, utilities, property taxes, builder's risk insurance, etc.Deductible: LLC formation, driving, office expenses, marketing, education, cell phone use, etc.

The material is broken up into National and Sate material so it is clear and easy to identify.

Had two reputable 20+ yr companies bid ~$25k, with high risk for other damage occurring during the job (plumbing, brick, roof, etc.)I have seen price quotes range from $200-$600 per pier, depending on type, quality, etc.Turns out the original foundation quote came from a company only in the business for 3 years, giving lowball bids with supbar materials and little to no experience.I would suggest having a licensed engineer look at it and give his recommendation, the $400 it costs could save you thousands in the long run.

Through volume for discount materials and labor the cost per unit dropped to 11,000 a door.HML's are more into properties that are 50% occupied etc. that can be turned around but not totally vacant.

Owner occupant strategy is good as well, if you can find a place with a vacancy, as those tend to have the prices driven up.
