They are a known fire hazard, blacklisted by many insurers and lenders for that very reason.From a financial standpoint, I would not want to be defending ($$$$) against lawsuits for the deaths of X number of adults and children who burnt to death because of a Stab-Loc panel, possibly looking to pierce the veil to satisfy a judgement.From an ethical standpoint, I want to rent safe housing to people and pets, not industry known hazardous housing.From an Asset Managers standpoint, I don't want Stab-Loc's (or the like) in my portfolio, any more than I'd want something that failed a Phase I Environmental Inspection.   

You/she has not considered (or apparently does not understand) De Minimus Safe Harbor rules or the concept of In Service date for the proper treatment of remodeling expenses.

Smart, has relentless work ethic, giving, always growing and he's build a community on wonderful values such as giving, positivity, and improvement and of course the education.

I do know pest control treatments fall under the guidelines here in KY which has been useful to me for unit inspection b/c my buddy owns a pest control company, just saying.I don't believe I would state the unit is inhabitable to the housing commission b/c they might hold you responsible for her temporary re-location until its repaired.

See below for treatment of payments due under a federal income tax installment agreement.When a borrower is obligated on a mortgage debt - but is not the party who is actually repaying the debt - the lender may exclude the full monthly housing expense (PITIA) from the borrower’s recurring monthly obligations ifthe party making the payments is obligated on the mortgage debt,there are no delinquencies in the most recent 12 months, andthe borrower is not using rental income from the applicable property to qualify.In order to exclude non-mortgage or mortgage debts from the borrower’s DTI ratio, the lender must obtain the most recent 12 months' canceled checks (or bank statements) from the other party making the payments that document a 12-month payment history with no delinquent payments.When a borrower is obligated on a mortgage debt, regardless of whether or not the other party is making the monthly mortgage payments, the referenced property must be included in the count of financed properties (if applicable per B2-2-03, Multiple Financed Properties for the Same Borrower. 

So either : 1)they DID NOT know that the work they approved was bad and that they undervalued the SOW—which would mean they shouldn’t be in this business at all OR 2)they DID know exactly what they were doing but just needed a quick cash flow….and have very poor ethics.

Gary Or maybe living in DC has turned me into a responsible and ethical landlord who detests slumlords.

However I still very much like Vegas for some of the best if not best tax treatment all around in the US  and desert conditions IE no snow or hard freeze generally no soil issues  massive thunderstorms that ruin roofs etc etc.
