Can you write off the home and sewer inspections and appraisal costs for a rental property?

Appraisers look for a window, door, closet, outlets and ac vent for a bedroom.

Luckily bank agreed to make repairs needed to pass four point.I had to get a renovation loan insurance policy where I paid for a year up front in escrow and they would pull $400 a month till renovations were completed and then I could find a new insurance policy and the remaining escrow would be transferred to the new policy.Paid $540 for an appraisal.

If you are looking 3-5 years down the road In my mind I'd want to have a "not to be under xyz amount" whatever that is to make it make sense to you, but then having the property appraised or using a CMA from a local broker to guid the valuation rather than zillow. 

Most banks will only lend 75% of a property's appraised value, so they give you $60k.

@Wesley Frye 5 showings in the first 10 days is too low and If you received an offer from a First time buyer they usually need help with closing costs.My first advice as an agent.is you need make sure about the value of your property because it need to be appraised and in case do not appraise for the amount they are offering you will be in a complicated situation because they do not have funds to cover the difference.

You will need an appraisal for this since property values can fluctuate wildly depending on what time it is.2.

If you are getting financing for this, ask if the seller knows/thinks how it will appraise.

The seller is now asking for the inspection report and appraisal. 

Most HM lenders have you pay the appraisal management company directly for the appraisal, outside of that, all other costs are paid at closing.
