Public transport and bicycle lands mean you can yourself the biggest of holes in your funds, the motor vehicle.

In Louisiana you want to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to do this.Sorry for all the questions just trying to put all my ducks in a row before I hit this thing running. 

I'm trying to get specs on motorized operable partition walls and most of the ones I've found so far have been like the typical ones you see in event centers. 

They still have the tax credit, have a 10 year warranty on the battery/motors, have a local dealership for service and we have a Kia Telluride that we are very happy with.

I keep a few motor and start/run caps at my house, as well as nozzles and electrodes for the oil furnaces, a thermostat, and a spare transformer.

It's no different than using heavy motor oil to quiet knocking cylinders in an engine that's ready to blow up because you really need to sell the car and a new engine 'isn't in the budget' and "the sales contract doesn't specifically say that the engine won't blow up in a week"

For tax write off it is beneficial to repair versus replace.So depending on how much rent you would lose you would have to weigh repair versus putting new in.I totally understand if a part is 50 bucks you do not want to spend 600 or more for a new one.Especially if it is not that old.I gave 100 rent credit to a tenant when the A/C was out for a few days.The outside fan motor needed replacement so rather than the A/C guy saying I need a new one at 2 grand we bought the fan motor at a supply house for 60 and fixed it.So 2,000 versus 160 I will take the repair all day long.Especially if you have a property you are planning on selling for development down the road you don't want to drop all new stuff in.Sure a developer will let me strip it out and cash out the parts before they take it down but I want to keep my replacements to as little as possible and only repair.If you do too much the tenant will keep pushing the envelope.If I was in your shoes I would definitely give a credit to the tenant.After you get the part fixed and the credit you are still probably ahead versus replacement in cash outlay.Another consideration is if the water heater goes out on the weekend you might be better giving the credit versus paying for an emergency call and getting hit up with double the fees for everything.
