Photos and description on listing, assessor card, past listings + listing history (Hotpads, Zillow), tax bill combined can say a lot about the rehab numbers, problems with the prop, and seller motivations. 

@Dylan Cronkhite I am apologizing in advance for the terrible spelling errors😂

I have a small apartment building in a small town that charges for trash service with the water bill. 

The only monthly bill my LLC doesn't pay for on my house is my monthly term installments for principal/interest/taxes.Since my house is held personally, if I choose to have the LLC burden the payment to the bank, I'd have to declare that as "rental income".

@Blake Billings thanks for starting this post!

I pay my bills and feed my family through real estate, but being involved in faith based work I feel like a person has to be more cautious in presenting themselves as a big-time money bag.

But for me, it boils down to the rationale that when I fall on hard times when the black swan comes around, I will not lose that precious asset, even with the worst of situations hitting me, because only uncle Sam could take it away now, but compared to other bills, taxes are cheap (at least relatively, my property taxes are cheap for now).

If I remember correctly, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton got tax deductions for donating used underwear.

One of those items will be a copy of the water/sewer bills to verify the cost.
