(f) Unpaid assessments under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500) of the Streets and Highways Code) that are not satisfied as a result of the sale proceeds being applied pursuant to Chapter 1.3 (commencing with Section 4671) of Part 8, or that are being collected through a foreclosure action pursuant to Part 14 (commencing with Section 8830) of Division 10 of the Streets and Highways Code.

I once spent all night pumping 3 feet of water out of a basement, in a monsoon, using a DC pump attached to my truck battery because there was no electricity to the house and the sump pump couldn't work.

The duplex will still work quite well if I need to pivot back to LTR and even mid term, but as stated before, the property is quite profitable when it was able to be done as STR.I see these challenges as new opportunities to grow and continue to learn and improve my craft.Thank you all,James

Replacing an HVAC unit for tax purposes is considered an improvement, not a repair and therefor bonus depreciation from the TCJA should still be in effect through the end of this year. 

All the improvements I am doing is going under this category (new bathroom, new plumbling, new kitchen cabinets, new tile, new flooring, appliances, etc...)I dont know how classify my labor expense.

Saw a house with a For Sale by Owner sign in a yard with tall grass and after some drama, we have a house.We have dealt with long term rentals for over 15 years, but not aggressively ( keep them rented and do some improvements ).This "old house" needs, updated HVAC, new roof, new kitchen, some broken windows, upgraded electrical, water run off issues...I'm just starting to clear the house out with multiple dumpsters and starting to get quotes.  

My background is in math and engineering so I also think it'd be cool to analyze their spending and maybe start recognizing areas for improvements.
