We've fixed the handful of items they listed.Unfortunately, two or three weeks ago I got an email from a code enforcement about this now year old citation.

It would be best if you had a timeframe in place for initial reports of uncleanliness or broken items, maybe three days, but the truth is that all complaints are relevant no matter the time.

Cutting down on gov't spending and the pulling jobs back into the US should help offset some of the tariffs, but it will come down to which items exactly do get tariffs put on them and to what degree the tariffs are (10%/20%/50%).Overall, my guess is that rates will go down for early next year, rise during the middle quarter-third of the year, then fall slowly afterwards.

You should negotiate with the landlord that you don't mind taking care of small repair items such as tighten screws, drywall and paint repairs.

The most important thing is going to be staying organized with what items are purchased for which property. 

I buy them used and they offer a very good return with the income stream. 

My AC unit has another 3-5 years before it’ll need to be replaced so I’m thinking this may be a clean exit before large big ticket items start needing attention in the next 5 years.

Set Aside for Major Repairs: Most Cap Ex items have a life expectancy.

A cost segregation study looks at the overall building that you purchased and breaks it down as much as possible.The purpose of this is to increase the depreciation expense.Without a cost segregation study, you are depreciating the property over two items(Building and Land).However, a cost segregation study might identify items such as fencing which might be eligible to be depreciated over 15 years instead of 27.5 years.Depending on the year that the building was placed into service, you might be able to take bonus depreciation on certain items.The follow-up question to ask your CPA is will the cost segregation study help me, and by how much?

Since reserve studies attempt to forecast replacement costs of items over a 30 year period they are having to recalibrate since the reserves they are now using did not use the latest increase in construction costs.
