The real lesson here is to not include additional amenities built into rent (like Wifi).

Many of which were probably company built.

I have one in NE FLorida, he used to own 300 doors, I call him and run my deals by him, I am hoping to get smarter about deals and have him point out items to me SO THAT he can manage them for me, he manages 20 doors now instead of owning.

And the wall is built on top of that wood.

We built into our automated messages to ask for feedback and do so prior to a review.

For instance my 90 lot subdivision at one point I had 90 legal descriptions and parcels on one master deed.. as I sold them off we just deeded them out separately.. its super common especially in older platted cities were lots might have been small like 25 X 100 and someone bought 3 of them and then built one home on all three.. some places they force merge them others you can go back and recreate the Old lots of record.. there is millions upon millions made by those that know how to find shadow plats and bring to life underlying parcels.

From an appreciation standpoint, it's hard to say that a home built in the 1970s will likely appreciate less than one built today. 

My only guess is your CPA is thinking this is a rental, where you can depreciate certain items, and expense others against "this years" income.  

We're currently looking for ways to streamline supplies for cleaners (toiletries, towels, item replacements) and handle small handyman issues.

For that reason I built a full-functioning cash flow model taking into account hard money, the mortgage refinance and all relevant operating expenses to assess monthly cash flow.
