There are a variety of unforeseen reasons you could be forced to carry your property and not have tenants and cash flow.

Good and bad - you're entering a property without the bad habits of previous tenants but are now faced with some carrying costs in the first 2-3 months to fill tenants, renovate, and stabilize property. 

If you were there when it happened your witness will carry a lot of weight.

This may not be a rule that can carry into every market, but when I see a condo that should sell around 75K selling for 50K I have generally found that it has a $250/mo HOA fee with it.

My sons job made a mistake on his SSN, one number off, the CPA carried forward that mistake,  I didn't check it. 

B) Carry over to the last month of the renewal term (which would now be May 2020)?

While a heloc might carry a higher interest rate, I prefer it to a cashout refi because if you don’t use it, you don’t pay anything.

Not only should they be licensed, make sure that they carry insurance and a serious GC will also be bonded.

The only difference was that I have a legal concealed carry in CT, but my other team members do not want the responsibility of a firearm.

I would still expense as much as possible and carry-forward those passive losses to next year.
