As many of you know, this could significantly change the investment landscape by allowing immediate expensing of eligible property costs.Of course, the devil is in the details.

Hey Nick, I'm currently in escrow on a property in the Gardens.

I like to garden in my free time, this summer i noticed how much we saved with the garden and I've been watching more videos on personal finance.

1) I’d remove all items under $100 and the landscaping/vegetation items.

One thing the co-host will do is give you insight on what to do to get the property up to par for listings it like you said landscape etc. 

I'd love to utilize their expertise when assessing a property since they are local but I'm not sure what the general expectation is when I don't have a tangible property and I have not entered into contract to work with them yet.Some questions I have are: local regulations/permitting timeline, property's potential from their perspective, landscaping/amenities cost estimate (they also help facilitate this).

Start small with simple rehab projects like painting or landscaping to boost value without overextending.

This is typically parking, detention pond and landscaping.

A couple expense assumptions:Insurance: .6% of market value per year ($1300 to $1700 for garden variety SFH)Repair buffer: $50/moPM: 8% of gross rent + 80% of first months rent HOA: Ranges from $0 to $50/mo.

Fences, basic landscaping, tree removal can put some nice padding into your margins as well.
