Pay a Master Craftsman, who is much faster than me, gets better material pricing than me, and has better equipment than me, $35,000 to delivery a finished set that meets every requirement I have. 2.

Lets say the IRS allowed you to take 200k of that investment (which is spent on new equipment/construction) as a loss (rather than depreciate it)- then your return this year would show -100k in income, and your return next year would show $0 in income, even though you actually made 200k in income during that period!!!

*Modern finishes and all original HVAC equipment and appliances.  

Just make sure the heating equipment is working good.

Also change hvac filters and if you have change in seasons you should have hvac servicedYes you can say tenant will do this but when they don’t and your hvac equipment lasts 1/2 time it should etcOther things such as flushing water heater, checking shower valves, faucets etc for leaks, replace caulking etc, checking windows close properly….Myriad of things to do and check.

My job is also hands on so I am also building things and equipment.

It’s a mixed use building with 4 units. 3 are being used residentially and 1 as a business.The business is a studio with no equipment inside.

ThT one contractor does $35k obviously wasn’t equipped for the job.

It may depend on how well equiped you are to state your case and overcome objections of the lender.

Throw a $300+ "monkey wrench" into that machine and stand back - make sure you're wearing your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) when you do.As Marina Loos posted, ..."
