And the maintenance on all 4, including utilities is much less. ehh, i would have to see the numbers.

Plus the developer will take care of maintenance.

If Tenants wish to use these appliances, they agree to assume all responsibility for care and maintenance.

If you rent it, major improvements get capitalized and depreciated over time, while certain expenses (like maintenance) can be deducted once the property is rented out.

Next, maintain professional boundaries with clear communication and a strong lease agreement to set expectations upfront.Proactive maintenance is essential.

However, you can deduct expenses related to travel, repairs, supplies, and maintenance during your stay.

i use mine for STR so it is really nice to have notification when a guest arrives or when cleaners are there.But even for LTR, being able to control codes and provide access for maintenance from a distance is a nice convenience. 

I know the Director of the construction division of License and Inspection and if you are doing anything other than cosmetic painting and maintenance you will screw yourself if you do not obtain permits.It is a good suggestion to use contractors properly licensed in Philadelphia.

For example, I  never hear stories of the turn key provider spending extra sound proofing between units or investing in better quality fixtures or other high touch building materials so that the end buyer can enjoy reduced maintenance costs and better tenant engagement.
