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 ?

For example, I just bought a townhouse on Monday and the basement and bedrooms are carpet... it's clean but not perfect.

So I guess the point of all that was to acknowledge that it's perfectly legal to charge a repair deductible, you just choose not to do so.

That's OK, and better to do something than nothing trying to create that perfect plan.

It makes perfect sense to me that he should pay one, so I know he's serious and doesn't leave me hanging at the closing table.

This week is a perfect example of that.
