Thanks James, I'll go ahead and just expense them. Still learning the tax basics regarding investment properties. Do you have any suggestions on where I might start to begin understanding taxes and how owning investment properties can't be used most favorably?

Thanks,

Mark

Like any good Dutchman I waited until the big box stores had their after thanksgiving sales to buy some much needed power tools for my investment property. I purchased the tools with my investment property LLC credit card and wondered if it is possible and/or favorable to depreciate these assets? I bought a power tool combo set as well as an air compressor set. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark

Great info here! Just had tenants move out of the lower unit of my first rental property a 2 unit. Is it possible to access all Kwikset Smart Key locks with a master key? Or simply easier to change out cylinders but still need to have a spare key for each different lock?  I would also like the back door to the basement to be keyed in such a way that both tenants keys can open.  Any recommendations here?

Thanks @Paul Timmins!

Welcome to the BP community Clint! I would definitely join to RPOA and REI groups in GR.. Excellent resources! Private message me if you'd like more info!

Cheers!

Thanks Courtney!

I actually met with Duane today!

I'm a relative newbie real estate investor and am looking for CPA recommendations in the Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan area.  Any suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated! 

Thanks Courtney!

I did reach out to Chad at Banner Drywall but I just have a very small section that doesn't meet their minimum :/

Was hoping to get a referral of someone who does drywall on the side or a smaller company who could tackle it. 

I've been well! Have missed you at the Fri morning RPOA breakfasts! I've been tooling around checking out smaller mixed retail/residential properties lately :)

How've you been??

I'm looking for a drywall contractor/handyman to install a 12' x 12' section of drywall in the bathroom ceiling at my property in downtown Grand Rapids, MI. Any recommendations/referrals are greatly appreciated! Cheers! Mark

I'm also intrigued by the nest thermostat.. if there is no wifi or if my single family is vacant during the winter will the nest work without wifi? can you manually override? I wouldn't want to pay to start up wifi in order to keep my property warm? Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?
