@Robert McCormickI quickly looked up some info for Sussex County yesterday and was going to post it here, but then realized that was for Sussex County, DE, so, obviously not applicable.Anyway, it seems like you already found some info on the appeals process.

Also, keep in mind De Minimus Safe Harbor is available on remodeling expenses with an individual transaction value of $2.5k or lessAlternatively, for any of the remodeling costs in Step 1 that don’t qualify for De Minimus Safe Harbor and have a useful life (period they will take to wear out) of 20 years or less you can take 80% bonus depreciation in 2023. ...

De Minimus Safe Harbor relates to individual capital expenses (can be renovation costs) that are $2,500 or less.The other expenses you mentioned on the "small project" could be deductible under bonus depreciation (80%) in 2023. 

Full disclosure, I'm a mortgage broker in CA, and I'm not saying to use me, but for example, I have closed DSCR loans in East Coast states such as CT, MD, DC, FL, GA, DE, NC just to name a few, and don't consider myself an expert in any of them. 

@Emma Redfern remember to consider bonus depreciation and the De Minimus Safe Harbor Rule for renovation expenses.

I think like @Paul De Luca pointed out...it's hard for us to speak to your specific deals if we don't know all of your numbers, your criteria, and your exact situation.My opinion would be to go for it! 

I noticed in the pictures that the property was weatherized and would love to know if the seller de-winterized the property for inspection purposes?
