If you all have text messages and/or e-mails complaining about the urine smell...especially ones that were shortly after you all moved in...that would be pretty good proof it was pre-existing.A lot of people assume that tenants are entitled to a walk through but, legally, they usually aren't. 

@Benjamin E Salas Sounds good to me!

She is looking for e reputable real estate company that will help her acquire property.   

I am looking a purchasing storage units and want to know if I would file as Schedule C on my taxes (my preference) or if I have to do them under Schedule E? 

That’s an interesting story.As I look towards the future of my family, real estate investing gets my entrepreneurial juices flowing.

I e-mailed her and no response.

P/E ratios can't go to 50/1, not enough fairy dust.Summary:Let her enjoy life. 

@Chris Seveney All of them especially O&E, BPO and RE agents.

Instead, they are treated as suspended losses from a former passive activity [Reg. 1.469-9(e)(2)].

@Paul Sandhu every VRB I have utilized has also had electronic locks, with such all could be accomplished over the phone of via use of the code they received via e-mail for check in which remains active during their use time and resets to a different code for next tenancy.
