Hello everyone, I am going to start renting my master bedroom for short term tenants. I am right now marketing to medical professionals who usually are staying for 3 month contracts. What kind of rental agreement do you use for this kind of rentals? And do you do a full credit and background check? Thanks so much. 

@Gregory McKinley great idea!👍

@Michael Plaks Thank you so much for your detail response. It is incredibly helpful. I really need to find a new CPA. Good CPAs are not so easy to find, it seems

Thank you so much for your response @Ashish Acharya. This is a new property that has not been rented yet. I sold some real estate this year, per my CPAs advise, and I am trying to mitigate the tax impact. Unfortunately, I don't think I got really good advise. 

Does a new fence installation qualify for bonus depreciation? I am in the middle of a big renovation project and I am looking to maximize my bonus depreciation opportunities here. So far, I have kitchen, driveway, landscaping, and painting. Any suggestions would be appreciate it here. Thanks everyone. 

@Carolyn Fuller thank so much for sharing your experience. That’s very helpful

@Kevin Sobilo yes, I do have natural gas available. And yes, I am concerned with how much it is going to cost to run. Thank you so much, Kevin

@Paul M. Thank you so much, Paul

@Victor Menasce Those are great points. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my post.

I am debating whether to put an ductless mini split AC system for my duplex. I am in Indiana and I am worried that it will be to expensive to run in the winter. Heating is the main issue here. Does anyone have experience with these systems in the cold climates?
