However, if you are doing cosmetic renovations (paint, cabinets, countertops, etc.), you do not need any forms—just keep track of your spending to share with your tax advisor at the end of the year.The best way I’ve found to keep track of expenses is through a credit/debit card that is dedicated ONLY to your business.

I have made a lot of improvements, upgraded the bathroom/floors throughout the home and kitchen cabinets 

Scratch and dents that can be hidden either with paint or behind a cabinet.

Or as my wife likes to call it: "man-sitting"Contractors unwilling to execute on what you hired them for (I.e. current flip, cabinet installers were supposed to put up fill and crown.  

Many of my friends get cabinets from a place called Castle Wholesalers. 

Specifying colors, tile, cabinets or anything else in a rehab is directing the borrower.

Replaced all lighting and painted all of the cabinets.

We do not replace cabinets or vanities without charging the tenant for the damages they caused.   

What happens if, after your contractor completed the job, you realize that you forgot to ask him to repaint the cabinet doors in the hall bath and install two extra outlets in the kitchen?
