Yes, you're concern about time is valid.

We'd also be hooking up natural gas which means some extra plumbing. 

And after a ten year tenancy, I doubt you will find any valid deductions, unless the tenant did some malicious damage.  

@Eddie Knoell It sounds like you are already in the business of renting real property, so I would say yes, this is a valid business expense, but please consult with your actual accountant about your particular situation.I assume you give him or her some record at the end of the year of your real estate income and expenses.

Right now I have on the following on my radar:$3k (immediate): W/D and hookups$15k (~2 years): 2x heating conversion to natural gas and baseboard heating for 3rd floor$15k (~5 years): House sidingI've budgeted $500/month for capex and am putting it into a savings account.Down the line, once i'm under 80% LTV (5 years w/o appreciation), I'm not certain if I should consider using a HELOC for capex or try to rely on a savings account. 

Not a lawyer, but my intuition says that the contract is going to be valid unless you have some other written acknowledgement of the media package.
