Do you like to cook? 

Lathrop at I5 and 205 is the same.Winters is seeing some the same.Seems los banos n hollister building has slowed thoghSo many apartments are getting finished in the south bay! 

Buyers expect premium finishes, so skimping on quality can hurt resale potential.

Let's say you borrow $100,000 to pay off your $50,000 IRA loan, $25,000 on credit cards, and keep $25,000 for finishing renovations.

Quote from @Erick Pena: Hi everyone,I’m new to real estate investing and just finished reading Brandon’s book on investing with no money down.

Im a medium sized operator - 46 units- and my typical deal has an ARV from 200 to 230 when its finished.

It's 400 sqft and high end finishes.

They had an unfinished space counted as finished space increasing the size of the home by ~10%.

Every house and every area are way different, so is the chopice of finishes.

The first is that there's no consensus between tax professionals, and the second is that you will not like my personal interpretation.My interpretation is:Until the property is "placed in service" - everything goes into basis.Illustration.You buy a property July 1st.You finish rehab November 1st and put the property on the market.Your tenant moves in January 15th.The property was placed in service November 1st, and it does not matter that the tenant did not move in until the next year.Everything paid between July 1st and November 1st, including interest and utilities, goes into basis.
