When it comes to the 203k, just make sure you have a contractor start date scheduled, and be sure to contact your consultant (if you have one and its not a 203k limited) to get the first draw scheduled. 

Have now been told my depreciation schedule for my rental properties has been lost in a move.

Quote from @Don Miller: We took a trip to Cape Coral last week.The area seems to be getting back to routine. 

That means it likely wouldn’t be deductible under Schedule E the same way an out-of-pocket repair before closing would have been.

• Timeline & Scheduling: • How long will the project take?

My only concern is my schedule changes all the time meaning the days I’m not scheduled to work can change to now I’m working.

Mostly on a long term scheduled with deferred maintenance. 

15-20% for STR and MTR here in Alabama.We have a STR on Dauphin Island and that PM charges 24% but a "lot" of routine maintenance is covered in that.

I do my best to keep up with it and give them reliable information, but I'd really like a routine place to check each morning so I'm giving them the best and most up-to-date information possible.
