Trying to take picture with my phone, and talk, and write things down while at the property was....really cumbersome.

@Wences LopezArizona landlords must give tenants at least 30 days' notice - in writing - to increase the rent of a month-to-month rental agreement.I'd send an email and a letter stating that you will increase the rent to X amount on a date that is least 30 days in the future - probably January 1st or February 1st of next year.If I was underpaying rent by $400-$600 each month, I wouldn't be in a hurry to leave either.

I was planning to write a letter to them, with the hopes that she intercepts it. 

Beckie - You can ask your CPA for his/her suggestion, but I think the biggest item is to track your payments (from LLC to personal) on an excel file and make note at the end of the year of the interest versus principle paid on the HELOC (which the bank should give you during year end statements) - in that way, you may be able to write off some of the interest.

Whenever an opportunity arises, we simply write a check or ACH transfer out and put that equity to work.

Still a good idea to get your ducks in a row with a lender and have them do an initial underwriting and have them be prepared to answer a call from a seller, but they likely won't write up a letter.

"writting off" the vehicle via actual expenses tends to be a better write off overall. 

The contractor should not do any work above and beyond the scope of work agreed to in writing.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

All the times they said that I cannot achieve anything and I would be nothing.Honestly, I even had to reach into my cookie jar to write this blog!
