The rent payment is just automatically deducted from their bank account each month and then transferred into mine.

If a tenant leaves the place clean, I don't deduct for those items.

The AMO means the company has a certain level of standards and must also abide by a strict code of ethics.

@Jacob Sampson,Hmm, you are capturing depreciation and deducting from your taxes.

I try and have around 25% of my offers accepted...Some of this is personal preference, but most will be fairly standard.  

It is paid to the escrow agent, who holds that money in escrow, until closing, default or written release of contingencies.I don't know what contract you're using, but if you use the standard TREC contract, use Section 23 (Cancellation Option).  

That's pretty standard here ( Fresno, ca) for most rental units unless it is a SFR  -  if so , that could affect your cash flow.  

Moreover, inspection standards also varies with different issuers. 

I do like to wear suits, I think it is professional, just my standard.

If I decided to do my own taxes, I would deduct this as start up expenses, correct?
