Filling up pools in the backyard or having more people live there than they told you etc but then again in most cases you can just resolve that between you and the tenant.Thanks for the insight … yea it’s minimal, my units don’t have a washing machine, dish washer or a pool for that matter.

And that is not to minimize a lot of other things we do as to maintenance... we paint properties, pressure wash, replace pool liners, do what preventative maintenance we want to do and farm out the rest.  

It's one of those things as the property gets bigger the cost can be more of a baked in expense for the cost/benefit.Some gas stations can get 100% bonus depreciation followed by car washes where not 100% but a lot of it year 1 can be depreciated.Tax accountants often can do basic calculations for cost seg but if you do plumbing and electrical in walls and all of that really need an engineer for those services.

After comparing HM loan agreements for both, they are a virtual wash down to the dollar.

Pressure washing the house, driveway, and patio went a long way too, as well as basic landscaping.

There is a small town near where I live with an old run down car wash that is out of use and has been for years, but is sits right off one of the two main roads in the town.

So far I have boosted curb appeal by power washing the exterior, painting the shutters, removing some old rotting fences and dead trees and bushes.

If we allow tenants to access the basement (to do their wash or access the circuit board) I am afraid this could be a liability or code issue.

It would be nice if everyone can afford to live in a high rise with dog wash, a fancy gym, and have Saturday afternoon fancy pool parties, but that is not the reality.   

Renovated the kitchen, painted interior, LVP flooring wall to wall, pressure washing, landscaping, new small deck out back.
