I am sure they will be adding more of these premium features on for a small price so Landlords can choose if they want more of the features to make Cozy a one stop shop.

Paint simple design with stencil in corners or beaded edge with painters tape around perimeter.

Universities & employment can also be added to your list. 

And of course don't forget that over the next few years you'll be adding to that depreciable basis as you develop and put the new assets into production.

In 2017, the costs to improve inventory will be added to the cost of the property and expensed as COGS when sold.Only items that will be expenses in 2017 will be things that don't improve the inventory (like a home office deduction, travel expenses, etc.).Keep in mind that there may be other facts I'm missing so be sure to talk with your accountant/advisor who has a full picture of your situation. 

Can this contingency be added to any contract?

I'll definitely be adding the no/low downpayment book to my list of reads. 

That is called OSB ( oriented strand board) and is mostly used for sheathing on the outside of the house under the siding. the problem with putting Spackle over it to try and hide it is that the moisture from the Spackle may get into the board and start to de-laminate it. if it is only 3'-4' high, you can dress it up with some sheets of 1/4" bead board, if it's the total wall you can cover it with 1/4" drywall. look at it this way, there is no way a tenant will put a hole through those walls after you cover it, i would consider having that a plus.

First off, it will not be added back like depreciation.Contributing to a SEP IRA can hurt your ability to qualify but it depends on if you report your business income on a Schedule C vs. a corp.
