I planning to have backyard installed in new construction SFH.I read this cannot be added to the cost basis of the rental property and be depreciated by 27.5 years since it is not an improvement to the property.But what about paving the patio and side of the garage, where it is touching the house.   

The strategy here I think would be to just do a cosmetic remodel to a home that is highly unlikely to need any other improvements.

In order to move out in a year, you will likely need to make improvements on the property to justify higher rents.

To take measure of self, to learn and improve from "education via pain". 

North Broward Area (Undergoing Gentrification)Type: Triplex Units: Two /1-bedroom units Current Rent: $1,500 per unit, month-to-month leases Tenant Quality: Great tenants, familiar with the neighborhood, payments made regularly with sufficient funds Potential Rent Increase: Neighborhood improvements and upcoming developments suggest potential rental rates could rise to $1,800 - $2,200 within the next two years Upcoming Development: A new $2.2 million road is being constructed in the cityCurrent Market Value: $680,000Current Cash Flow: $1,500 per unit, 3 units totaling $4,500 per month Condition: Needs some work Price: $435 ,000This property is a prime investment opportunity in an area poised for significant growth and appreciation.What do you think?

One must accept the fact that there will be mistakes, there will be cost paid, but in the long run, as long as one doesn't quit, and try to improve on the process every day, one will get better. 

The prices are improving for the buyers as the market transitions to a more stable / normal market. 

Again as a primary house I will do some minor improvements and move again. my second property is a new construction, I only put 25k with a 5.5% interest rate.

Here is an example of finding if it does improve every year

The industry has dealt with new technology geared at improving workflow and resident tours, a world-wide virus has come and gone, interest rates have drastically changed the environment and there have even been some major legislative changes that have impacted our industry.
