I would capitalize the plumbing and bathroom remodel and expense as tenant turnover the kitchen cabinets, any appliances other than an HVAC system, and the tile/other flooring you listed.

I told him I could list his home or if he preferref I could buy it cash and close quickly for wholesale pirce.

Tampa was on a list last month of the Best Place to Live.
