If I go watch TV then I turn that minisplit on while I am there.

And, good to meet someone here who is in TV production. :)Account Closed Thanks for your reply.

., something like  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-Decora-Z-Wave-Controls-15-Amp-Tamper-Resistant-Split-Duplex-Receptacle-White-Light-Almond-R04-DZR15-1RZ/301187575 ) that way NO ONE should be messing with it.What we did though was the following:Added a switch/repeater to control the TV -- I never turn it on/off, but it's behind the tv and I doubt folks will mess with it since the TV is plugged into it.Added a repeater to the furnace room -- again, hidden so people won't mess with itAdded another repeater in a cabinet -- again, hidden to people won't mess with it. 

Watching TV in a room filled with artwork of scantily clad women is a bonus. 

I assume you include TV and internet for another $100 or more.

I am a long time viewer of BP but never joined until now.

If you bought a TV that you use to watch the highly educational programs on HGTV - then it's a stretch, at best.I doubt that your $12k rental business needed $20k of some business-only equipment.If you bought something that is only partially used for business, like an iPhone or power tools - then you can only deduct the business portion (percentage) of such equipment.

@Isaac Baron You can get all the information you need by reading the forums here on BP.Also check out the TV show "Vacation Rental Potential" on A&E.

Would you rather spend time watching TV than making phone calls?

@James Edward does anyone think that (a part of) the lack of inventory is due to all these darn home improvement/house flipper tv shows?!?!
