What is the kitchen like?

I don't understand why my taxes go up a few bucks when I change move an item (a kitchen appliance) from bonus depreciation to an expense on schedule E.

#2 - Larger 5-bedroom renovation into a sweet rental home Before Pictures (Zillow Link)After Pictures (Airbnb Link)These investors took something that was very boring and extremely residential-looking and transformed it into a cozy retreat for travelers with highlights being adding wood paneling, kitchen renovation, new furniture throughout, beautiful outdoor space with added hot tub and fire pit spaces for guests to hangout and an exciting game room space to occupy guests for hours. 

For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!

A new kitchen on the first floor.

They put their old hand me down furniture and cheap plastic Dollar Tree kitchen utensils in there, pass off the management to Vacasa or Evolve, and expected to make a killing.

And definitely go to Goodwill for all your kitchen utensils and small appliances, you'll save a fortune if you do that. 

I did a take home mold test and found more mold in the kitchen and the vent in the foyer.

For example my simple spruce up would be, renno bathroom, and kitchen, paint, and redo carpet upstairs.But if i think real deep into what I could do to make it a STUNNER then I think, knock down walls, create more open/broken floor plan, add central air, possibly do an addition to add a 3rd bedroom and second bath.So when you could do ANYTHING .. how do you draw the line of what you should do?

I have owned this property for almost 10 years and originally purchased with cash and of course work has been done over the years. ceramic tile in bath and kitchen, laminate wood in the rest of the rooms, cabinets and countertops, sinks in bath and kitchen, new tubs and toilet etc.. located in st louis its a 2/1 but will rehab to make 3/2 so we will be adding value to the property and will be using the rest for capital for the company as i have other deals I am looking at...
