I also would like to reduce the audit risk due to large bonus depreciation. 

Quote from @Shawn Questa: A few times I've reached out to Cash Buyers and they would tell me that they are a part of an Investment Group and that they are ready to quickly Close Deals would be happy to work with me.Later I would come to find out that they are actually a Group of Wholesalers, like me.I guess I would prefer to Work directly with the Investor, Cash Buyer or Flipper. 

The sinks and faucets didn't, but the tubs and toilets did. 🤔 After having the plumber come back a couple of times to try to remediate, we brought in a different plumber that provided 2 other possible remediation things we could try.

If you live in your short-term rental (STR) property in a future year after claiming depreciation, depreciation recapture does not occur immediately.

Quote from @Matthew Samson: @Corby Goade yep, that sounds like a plan.

The more experience earned, you gain insight into comparables, learn neighborhoods, get better and better in determining a real deal from a stinker.Sounds like you earned a little break now!

Add thoughtful touches like a Keurig or French press, USB chargers, and local travel guides.

I was thinking if I can talk to my neighbor about sharing the cost (I, the landlord, personally provide labor and my neighbor provide material (e.g. fence pickets)).

Would the rent amount seem unreasonble to a buyer if you tried to sell it.

You can refinance into a FHA 203k or like @Jason Wray mentioned you could even use a Fannie May homestyle renovation loan as well!
