I paid for the year (only $199)  because I thought the benefits were perfect for me and the club is awesome.

The perfect gas saver although it lacks the modern day amenity’s, one of which is a radio.

It's not about being perfectly bullet proof but deterring would be attackers in the first place.   

A lot of items that come up day to day being a landlord, so even if they are all perfect on purchase, they may not be 6 months later. 

I have explained this to them and now it is on to the bank.The house is by a college and is perfect for a rental.If anyone has inputs let me know.thanksKen

One of the moderators here J Scott posted: you're essentially asking a stranger to: - Devote a significant amount of time to you - Train you to potentially become their competitor I don't know too many people who would do that for a perfect stranger for nothing in return.

Just an idea, have you ever thought about deducting your actual auto expenses, another viable route I believe....let's say you know you use your car 60 percent for business (and I am presuming you use it predominantly for business) and you have 5,000 in Auto expenses, then you have a perhaps simpler deduction, 3,000......I have also read the mileage should be well documented, (think distance, time, day, purpose, and there are even apps for it..)..so if your documents are not perfect, actual expenses may work, too.

I do not know them, but I can suppose that they have lost their job, or something similar, because, in my opinion, the situation is not common, why tenants who used to behave perfectly have been stoped paying the rent ?
