Unfortunately, laminate, tile, and linoleum is supposed to be 27.5 years!!!!!

Lack of underlying soil conditions like you see in Texas  IE foudations going wonky and requiring on going maintance that can be expensive.5. at that price point you get the best qualified renters not the bottom 1/2 of renter pool you get the top half.5. newer construction  Stucco tile roofs etc   compared to 40 to 100 year old homes in other markets that need greater care to keep functional. 6. ease of getting there direct flights to many places a lot of areas in the mid west you have to connect.. thats an issue at least for me.7. things to do.. 

See if/when that meter moves to see if there is anything you can learn from that.  70,000 gallons as you said that meter has to be moving daily or every other day and maybe there is a pattern that will help you figure it out?

You probably won't get basics like lumber, but you can get tile, flooring, lights, faucets at a discount.

Please don’t use ceramic tile or stone countertops.

My husband remodeled the bathrooms, painted, installed new tile in the kitchen.

Yes...small repairs and all are deductible, but anything large must be depreciated....like repairing tile is a basic expense while re-tiling a whole bathroom is a capital expense.

Tiling - learning tiling can give you a good understanding for bathrooms & kitchens.9.

Ceramic tile doesn't cost that much more.I don't like the height of the stove fan.

Otherwise, this carport would be depreciated over 39 years with the hotel building.In an office building, instead of installing a permanent flooring such as glued down wood or tile, install flooring that is considered personal property such as luxury vinyl planks or carpets.These are just a few of the many ways that tax planning before construction can save you money.
