Have called their 1 888# numerous times it is always busy,day or night, have now launched a fraud investigation be aware of DREW DOWNS LLC

Disclaimer- I will end up doing what our accountant advises, I'm just trying to do a little pre planning before we take our tax paperwork to him, and it's nice to get a discussion going to learn from everyone on BP :)If you have the information available (and it appears that you do) I would definitely go with allocating the expenses to the proper categories (rental property, appliances, land improvements, etc)and depreciating them accordingly.

I guess that puts them in the same category as 95% of all businesses

will not bore you with the numerous court fillings and communications where we tried to explain common sense like "hey, remember when we TOLD you they were doing this, and we WANTED to evict and YOU wouldn't let us".

There are whole countries where this applies and people have been making the ultimate sacrifice to uphold your statement.I just don't think violating this HUD rule, dumb as it may be, falls into that category.

We've closed numerous short sales with Bank of America as the short sale lender.
