I've had one estimate so far and the guy said that he "exhaust motor" needs to be replaced.

If room permits you could mount cabs on another wall.

I already had my eye on Mount Airy as it's close and I know it fairly well. 

I've been the researching the new plans to expand the light rail from Seattle north into Shoreline, Mount Lake Terrace, and Lynnwood.  

Unfortunately in our case we asked the bid to include just flush mount sprinklers so I'm not sure if it is going to save much.

Hmmm, I'm thinking the motor city could become the BiggerPockets City!  

Its like saying I want 3 cars, so grab 3 cars out of the junkyard and put motors in them.

That said there is also items such as a $750 variable speed blower motor I replaced in my HVAC system this spring, that is an expense as it is a component of a larger system.It is very complicated and that is why clients pay accountants like myself to keep track of them and assist.You are not going to depreciate a $40 light fixture it will be expensed when you replace. it.

Some of them already had window mounted electric heat and air.

I have also invested in different areas of the city (Old City, University City, Mount Airy, and the Northeast).Philadelphia is an interesting city for RE investing.
