Can I still get the same tax benefits in regards to depreciation?

It benefits your property hugely to have these cleaned and it doesn't cost much.

I would like to emphasize that you should not invest for tax benefits alone, you should be investing in things that you like and understand before anything else.

@Drew Sygit super interesting to hear, and I could see the benefit there.

Maybe this turns around and you're looking at a gain in 30 months and having that available will be a big benefit.

This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits."

Still close to the Bay Area but get the benefits of landlord/tenant laws, low property taxes, still high appreciation, job growth, population growth, etc. 

Remember that a rental is a long-term investment with additional financial benefits such as depreciation.

The investor must consider whether the potential property value increase or other benefits outweigh this loss.

I know most of us here know these definitions, but just to make sure we are all on the same page.The main negative with MTR arbitrage is that since you do not own the unit, you get none of the benefits of being an owner.
