See chart below from the St Louis Fed.

It is the equivalent of your neighbor paying somebody $40 to mow his lawn vs you cutting the grass yourself and claiming that you made $38 more than your neighbor because it only cost you $2 of gas.

Phoenix also has so much sprawl that their water consumption is relatively high per person and people insist on keeping grass lawns in a desert.  

The feds  cannot afford to increase rates anytime soon because the economy will surely crash.4.

An agent could spend all day looking for great deals for a dozen investors who want to be spoon-fed opportunities, but they don't have their money in order or they are too unsure.

For example, all of our SFHs come with included lawn care. 10 years ago everyone wanted to cut their own grass and save on the rent.

For example if your leases have tenants taking care of grass/snow and this tenant can't then that is an issue that needs to be figured out prior to entering into a lease agreement. 

I live in Wi. and I file as single. how much do I owe for depreciation recapture for fed and state?

@Mason Hickman I'm hoping the other neighbors aren't too annoyed since the next door neighbor is a outdoor hoarder with barely any grass visible, which should distract from my tenant's yard being overgrown.
