Total cost is $3,200.I know the De Minimus safe harbor rule allows you to deduct anything under $2,500 and that anything over this amount, if considered a capital improvement, would need to be capitalized and depreciated over a certain period of time (the life expectancy of the improvement).

Presently I'm buying condos in Edmonton.
