I'm not paying any utilities, so those amounts need to be backed out.Another thing in my area is that some offices require the landlord to provide a stove and fridge and others don't.As far as the longevity of the Section 8 program, I don't think Obama will do anything to end it.

This excludes heating, AC, dishwasher, and oven stove units that breaks because of normal use, and not because of negligence of tenant.

What if you replaced a stove that only cost $500?

If we want to fix it up (replace stove, microwave, A/C unit), are these expenses tax deductible while we are living here?  

Where is the vacancy factor, management expense, reserve for replacements of things that break like fridges, stoves...  

Also needs a stove, fridge, and kitchen countertops (probably would be fine with what they have, but I want to do it right to attract responsible tenants). 

I don't know about the city registry but many have them, here you need a business license, might check that and they may want personal property taxes on business property, fridge, free standing stove, other amenities not attached.

Apparently they are both heated via large gas stoves in the kitchen (i.e. the stoves are old fashioned and are supposed to be used for cooking and heating). 

Thrown away a really cool "franklin' stove (or sold it)2.

Time Wendell, time that is why.I will explaine it simply and completly with a for example: Most know of this guy who was all about home brewing beer on his kitchen stove and did a hell of a job.
