It gets deducted from the original option price.

We are using up all of the $500 deductible from home insurance to cover water damage restoration.

So you'll need to deduct that from your estimate.

At the moment, have plenty of financial glide path, so don't need the equity of the current Investment prop, but had planned to owner finance (extra monthly income flow @7%, fluff... more income not required to eat, clothe, house. ).1) Cursory look indicates 30% max AGI can be deducted if deferred to Charity.

The three most common approaches include:Cost approach: An estimate of the replacement cost less depreciationIncome approach: Calculation of estimated potential rental incomeSales approach: Uses comps of recent transactions on similar propertiesBe sure you are leveraging the tax incentives availableIdentify any applicable tax incentives available for commercial properties - historic tax credits in certain areas, opportunity zones, environmental sustainability, etc.Understand available tax deductions, credits, and rebates - Tax deductions decrease the taxable value of a property, tax credits directly reduce your tax liability dollar for dollar and tax rebates are a refund of taxes paid under certain conditions.Utilize a cost segregation study - Cost segregation allows you to reclassify assets into categories with shorter useful lives, therefore accelerating depreciation and creating tax savings.Leverage energy incentives and deductions - Look into the Section 179D deduction and how you can save on tax by meeting certain standards to make your property more environmentally friendly.Best practices for commercial real estate owners and monitoring their property tax regulations:Plan proactivelyWork with a professional to receive guidance on complex regulationsUtilize specialized software tools to drive efficiency and compliance.What questions do you have regarding property tax valuations?

@Ryan RuncheyThe bookkeeping for this specific property will likely be difficult.This appears to be a househack as you purchased a personal residence but also have roommates to help with the rent.As a result, a portion of the expenses as they relate to the house are personal in nature and non-deductible.Items such as real estate taxes, mortgage interest, etc are all pro-rated.On-top of that you are doing the BRRRR which indicates that there is rehab involved.Portions of a rehab are currently deductible, capitalized or non-deductibleCurrently deductible - payment for an area of the home that is a tenant area.

I believe that would translate into a loss of a portion of the deductible expenses on taxes.
