The best way to be sure you are not priced out of a n RE market is to own RE in that market.  

Here's an example of what the journal entry looked like on 12/31/2019 for the two projects I had in progress in one of my companies:In this case, I was $84K into my 21st Street project (not yet completed) and $176K into my N Morgan project (not yet completed).Now, when you run a P&L through 12/31, you see that these two amounts are credited back to the COGS, so these costs aren't recognized in that tax year.  

Let me know if you have any questions I can run STR comp numbers n potential return.

@Jose N., I'm in a market with older houses and I don't think the age of the house has much to do with the maintenance cost.
