@Nicholas AiolaQuestion, if you have old antique furniture that was bought for $13,000 in your primary residence and want to donate it (assuming you are itemizing anyway) can you deduct the original purchase value if you still have receipts from many years ago?

Besides extra amenities, better furniture, location etc.

I've got a pretty expensive remodel with furniture so I only want the right crowd.

Will see condition when they leave.. although the house is all tile floors and furniture is not high end or anything. 

Might be a better card if you get a big kickback at the furniture store and you need more stuff, or travel a lot.  

Should be an easy fix to add a side gate, sliding glass door, french door, or regular exterior door and steps/patio. 

I purchased for $420k and the house needed quite a bit of updating/fixing and furniture, so I spent another $64,000 in repairs using my savings along with credit cards...yeah...ouch...I know...  

From the CA website:A landlord can only deduct certain items from a security deposit The landlord can deduct for:Cleaning the rental unit when a tenant moves out, but only to make it as clean as when the tenant first moved inRepairing damage, other than normal wear and tear, caused by the tenant and the tenant's guestsRestoring or replacing furniture or other personal items, but only if this was included in the rental agreement and the damage isn't from normal wear and tear Generally, a landlord can keep part of the security deposit for rent owed.

Like if I offered to buy his furniture too?

On the asset side you would show assets you personally own including houses, cars, furniture, life insurance policies, etc.
