He added that Trane furnaces are what he recommends but if I want to save a few hundred dollars I can buy an Ameristar Furnace as it's made by Trane (but isn't as sleek-looking, which accounts for the discount) - but he stated it's of the same quality. 

Typically, the asset managers at big banks have hundreds if not thousands of assets in markets all over the country.

As a former lawyer for national and regional banks, it's something I had to do hundreds --- if not thousand --- of times.

A 988sf roof w/ a 6/12 pitch is only 1,105 square feet of roofing w/ a 10% material waste that's ~12 squares of shingles.Roof Quantity CalculationOakridge roofing shingles are $140/sq at Lowes.12 squares*$140/square = $1,680 in shingle materials + a few hundred dollars of underlayment and flashings, so there shouldn't be more than $2,000 in materials.So in other words your Contractor has quoted you $9,000 for labor for a roofing job that will likely take a crew of 3-4 guys one to two days tops. 

*new roof*interior and exterior paint*new flooring*updated electrical system*opened up doorway between dinning room and living room*all new kitchen (cabinets, stainless steal appliances, granite countertops)*trendy board and batten window shuttersThe top selling points were the beautifully tiled bathrooms and kitchen backsplash.

Some of my properties were insured and after hurricane Irma and a few close calls with tenants threatening to sue, I decided that I needed asset protection and began looking at Anderson advisors and Companies Incorporated for advice and strategies to protect current assets and avoid losing substantial portion of the inherited trust due to a tenant threatening to sue because a cabinet fell on her.  

Some of the larger expenses-Interior/Exterior Paint, Storm shutters for a few of the front large windows, added additional cabinets to one unit,  New refrigerator from Dent/Scratch store after old one died,  Laundry units that tenant pays +$50/mo for etc. 

I plan to paint cabinets, get new fixtures and doors, and replace the old carpet with laminate planks, along with a few other smaller tasks.How do I show these or catagorize these expenses? 

Staking one property lIne should only be a few hundred.
