For context, (1) the property was in poor condition when I acquired it, and (2) I’m a passive real estate investor.Here are my expenses:- Travel (~$2,000) and meals during travel ($500)—I understand only 50% of meal costs are deductible.- Gardening maintenance (just to prevent the grass from getting too high, not an improvement).- In-year tax consultation ($300).- Commission to my buyer’s agent ($300).- Insurance premium ($1,000).- Insurance deductible following a claim ($1,000).I believe the property won’t begin to depreciate until it’s in service, which seems to align with how TurboTax is set up.
