The fire department came and turned the water off.We had just put new carpet in the first floor and new paint, so the next day or so had a guy come out and replaced the new carpet again and another guy replaced the burst pipe and put in a dry wall and paint the bathroom since that is where the pipe burst from.I wanted to file a claim with my insurance company but the agent told me not to file a claim with the insurance company since then the insurance company will know about it and the buyer agent can find that out and it would detract from the value of the house.Almost 4 months had gone by and I wasn't happy with him since he never contacted me and keep in the loop with what is going on other than a website he gave me a link to and a password to check what is going on which he hardly updated.

If you have a property that has recently been acquired and has no tax returns filed then the general rule is 75% of gross rents minus PITIA.The exception to the rule is if you rapidly acquired multiple properties in the recent year and those properties were different that what you were used to managing such as a purchase of industrial real estate when you were a SFR investor.
