Unless you are itemizing your tax return, the interest on the primary is not tax deductible.

I then would have my tax cpa enter in or do it after discussing tax based items (depreciation- MACRS, reserves, year end accruals, reserves, etc.).

Any other locations, check with the tax assessor collector.

How much can you budget for furnishings and all kitchen items and creature comforts for the ones you want to MTR.If you have a vacant 6-unit, you have great possibilities to try all strategies.

I am only familiar with the contract in my state but items seller agrees to do based on inspection findings are their responsibility unless spelled out differently.  

Because looking at the T12 from a 100 units will be different from 20 units will be different from 5 units in some of the line items (account names).

I figure the ones over 50 or 60 years old have already had all the big ticket items replaced.

First off, all high skill requiring items let's remove those.

That's it, but a) print out a page for each property you think is comparable, b) make the list of repairs long and inclusive of everything you've done. c) Put larger items first like kitchen remodel......and don't just say 'kitchen remodel', list things like 'custom backsplash tile/Bosch appliances/recessed can lighting/pot filler/etc. d) Cite the price/value of the work done, and don't be afraid to be generous.

Pay $2 to $4 per item.5.
