We generally advise our clients to go ahead and pay the recapture rates if death is the alternative.The good news about recapture - the deductions are a deferred tax liability to you, and an interest free loan from the government.

Do you typically pay someone to install? 

Given that I would pay 3/4 of the property's assessed value I think this could be a great opportunity.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

If I'm paying $150 to turn a rental, you would probably have to be sub $100 for me to give you a shot.

My client would have been willing to pay up to the whole listed price because the property will be worth ~$525k ARV. 

IE securing them paying tax's insurance etc etc. 

I got a 1099-INT from him to file my tax, which I paid a big portion out of 8% (effectively around 6% after paying the gov). 

Not sure if I have to pay for the more advanced features for it to work better but want to get other thoughts before I start syncing data and have to turn back.Thanks!

@Chris Magistrado if she knows what she's doing and consistently keeps a sharp eye on what's going on it's possible.Should have local "inspector" that can verify what's done and how well, before paying contractors.
