These expenditures are capitalized, meaning they are added to the property's basis and depreciated over time.Examples of Capital ExpendituresBuilding Additions: Adding a new room, deck, or other structural improvements.Major Renovations: Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, replacing the roof, or significant electrical and plumbing upgrades.Appliance Replacement: Installing new HVAC systems, water heaters, or other major appliances.Structural Repairs: Replacing the foundation or significant repairs to the building’s structure.Labor CostsLabor Costs: The costs paid to contractors, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and other professionals involved in the renovation are part of capital expenditures.Example of Capital Expenditures with LaborSuppose you renovate a rental property, including a new kitchen and bathroom.Materials: $15,000Labor Costs: $10,000Total Capital Expenditure: $25,000This $25,000 would be capitalized and added to the property's basis.

The buyer had an inspection and has requested for some cap ex repairs (new roof and new sewer pipe).

@Gabriella NataldieWith $10k in savings and $8k in hospital bills I would not be buying a multifamily propertyA roof, hvac system or major repair would wipe out that $10k.Closing costs alone on the property would be more than $10k.While it’s awesome to be ambitious, I recommend focusing on saving $ and building up enough capital so you can comfortably afford to buy a property
