Most material pricing, especially lumbar has come down tremendously from the chart he is using to show the increase.

I am asking anyone knowledgeable to provide any measures or strategies that could materially make a difference in heading off the risk of serious financial harm of the eviction process with non-paying tenants.

We have had two homes broken into and materials stolen recently.

We had challenges getting the tenants to vacate, we had material supply delays during the pandemic, and I was juggling several other projects at the same time.

My question is, do I just use the heavily reduced price I was able to purchase it for since it was vacant, and then the material cost of what I renovated plus what things I did contract out, even though that basis would be way under what the other renovated houses that sold near me per SF sold at, or are you able to use similar comps to determine the depreciation basis?

You can cover the wire mesh with drywall patches (they tape on wall and across the wire, white/paintable, different sizes) as the wire mesh is what will prevent the rats from eating their way into the property (the covering material is cosmetic only).

Sometimes I think, well maybe that newby is an expert at draining swamps....or they have a helicopter to reach the landlocked property and want to practice aerial concrete and building material transport.There was a guy on here the other day, challenging me that he could not possibly go look at all the "deals" he was going to buy in Florida for 10c on the $1. 

Type of construction materials for the build(block/metal frame/wood frame), separate utilities, finishes, tech, cleaning crews, any tips and tricks would be HUGE! 

Second, for you as a taxpayer you need to evaluate if your tax situation (e.g. property type, tax profile, material participation, etc.) will allow you to leverage additional losses generate from cost seg to optimize your taxes. 

Estimated CostsADU costs can range DRAMATICALLY depending on the state of the lot, custom vs fast track plans, size of ADU, materials and finishes, speed and quality of the builder, etc.
