We have stared the project about a month ago, completely new interior including adding new HVAC all new electrical, flooring, cabinets, tops and so on along with new driveway exterior paint and some siding.My contractor is also an investor, so we were lucky there, good insight to share and also, he has lots of leads for renters.But he is NOT a good photographer LOL. here are some progress pictures .Also, I will like to share that we are closing on one more single-family property early next week and we have a duplex under contract._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________10/12/2024.

I have a few things I am hoping to get some guidance on if possible:1) Can itemized deductions just be the quotes for things needing fixed/ cleaned?

Since the Utility Bill will change each month, each tenant's portion will also change each month....Easy Example: Say we manage a 2 family with 6 tenants/residents in total: 4 people living upstairs in Unit 2,  and 2 people living downstairs in Unit 1:  If January's water bill for the whole building is $100, then February's Rent for Top Floor Unit 2 would have an extra $100 x 4/6th (or 2/3 rds) added on = $66.66February's Rent for Bottom Floor Unit 1 would have an extra $100 x 2/6th (or 1/3 rds) added on = $33.33I always send each Tenant a copy of the entire building's Water bill, plus a cover page with a detailed explanation of the billing-breakdown.Make sense?

While you wouldn't have any protection for the flood damage you incurred (sheetrock, trim, floors, insulation, electrical, contents, etc.), you would have coverage for the wind damage you incurred (roof, gutters, blown out windows, etc.). 

I just have 5 units and am doing other work to help pay the bills in addition to doing all the property management myself (upkeep, repairs, cleaning in between tenants, mowing, finding & interviewing tenants etc).   

I feel it's a bit unfair and frankly I am not going to charge the tenant anymore than what the place is worth market rate because of its location and he is a great tenant (pays on time, keeps the place clean, communicative etc) I feel like i should even give him a break because he said he couldn't even be home since there was construction all summer due to building maintenance repairs. 

All new appliances, no garage, lvp floors + carpet upstairs.

It's a nice, clean, small town, and several residents work in St.

We will be adding a new kitchen and furnace and flooring.
