When washer ends washing cycle it raises the water in the kitchen sink. 13.

If that part of the house is in such bad shape i bet it needs new furnace water heater, definitely new paint, pressure wash the siding, New windows, doors, hardware refinish the floors assuming the hard wood is in good condition.

I have 14 properties that range from 5 units to 65 units. i.e. fire inspections, renovations, landscaping projects (palm tree trimming, crepe myrtle trimming), notating new appliances (per unit), owner specifics (flooring type, paint color, interior finishes), capital projects, pressure washing, just to name a few.

The last 3 slabs on the left hand side (opposite side of the house) looks like it had a wash out and are no longer level with one of them having a decent size crack running through it.

my point of viewI'm one of those people that really like the grey area of taxationdepending on how you have your rental portfolio laid out and what type of entity you have for your properties this is a pure wash- tax deduction for maintenance, if you go a step further and say the pool needs new decking then it falls under improvement ect...it all depends on where you place the capital on the form to make it a deductionenjoy

@Jared Rine The lender is using the $30k as the down payment but its a wash since they are also factoring it in as an acquistion costs when I already own it.

Your nuts. nobody's going to sign a lease with the exit date before the end of the month.It's called out by 12 noon on the last day of the month and in at Noon on the 1st day of the month.You kick AXX to get the work done and painted and if necessary do minor fixings after the new tenant is in all major stuff first paint, carpet clean and then the small stuff, wash windows, kitchen clean and bathroom clean. 

Make sure it's coin op, if it's just free, they will wash one sock at a time.

Just to get the smell out you are going to have to pull just about everything that can be moved and rest will have to be cleaned with detergent and hot water.I had to wash window screens on a flip I did.  

If you browse around and listen to some of the podcasts you'll find that a big reason Joshua Dorkin started this site was he believes in sharing information and hates those who try to scam new investors out of their money with get rich quick schemes.
