@Jonathan Greene I recently had an oil tank removed last April.

I just heard someone trying to explain this last month. 

Last year we recast several of our 30 year mortgages and it was a pretty inexpensive way to increase our monthly cash flow.

Happy to do the refis for as long as that's doable (bull).

If you have them pumped every year they can last a long time.

One last thing since my BP colleagues have already answered everything: Be sure you can use these deductions to begin with.

On top of it, reaching 20% down through principal reduction and appreciation could be a decade out.So you should probably look at the project as a long-term partnership with you co-owning this with your sister for the foreseeable future.But these are great opportunities. 

Quote from @Larry Wallace:True story, I had a tenant in a duplex discharge his pistol last year and put a hole in the new steel entry door.

@Corbin Hibler my last sewer line replacement was $5,000.Go out in the street and see if there has been any road repair work done like a patch of some sort.

Has anyone ever heard of Long Leaf Lending and if so would you recommend them?
