However, I don't believe the Property Tax deductions (Point 2.) on a Rental is restricted by the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).Specifically Section 212 says:In the case of an individual, there shall be allowed as a deduction all the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year:(1) for the production or collection of income;(2) for the management, conservation, or maintenance of property held for the production of income; or(3) in connection with the determination, collection, or refund of any tax.

That would be a pretty bold move by the sellers (cutting the freon, electrcial, loading it up)  but anything is possible. 

I have a rather large tree in Mesa AZ that I think is dead and it needs cut down or at least trimmed so it's safe from falling.

Make-ready and lease back up.Final analysis: re-let, cut the losses, do a final accounting (don't charge for AC repairs). 

Hello,With winter coming, I was trying to get a straight answer about the snow removal laws for a landlord in MA.

This is not the time to cut corners or save money. 

The town's tree warden had to come out to assess other trees along the street and determined he will be cutting down at least two of them (if these two came down, they're definitely coming onto/ into the house).Have you run into a situation like this before?

@Tracy WilliamsonI have an llc, started straight out of the box with my first duplex, now I am at a point where I need to start a second one for my next purchase.

Start with the highest interest rate card and cut any extra spending and put your money towards the debt.

Keeping the fake and real names straight with everybody could get complicated.As far as making the lease the bad guy goes...I live in Allegheny County, in Pennsylvania.
