@Jay Hinrichs Buyers and sellers never need a ”real estate professional.”

According to this website, Citi cards are the best for extending the warranty: https://thepointsguy.com/guide/best-cards-for-extended-warranty/.I read the exclusions on the benefits/disclosures brochure associated with this card, and the only thing I saw that wasn't covered similar to what you're referring to was "Items purchased for resale, professional or commercial use." 

I would either have it professionally done, or remove and replace in your situation.

Eventually when you do sell without a 1031, you will pay US taxes but will not be able to use all the tax credit with the CRA.Finally, this is not an area to get advice  from non professionals (like me :).

The entire cost during renovation might not have to be capitalized and can be expensed, but you need to talk to your tax professional and give him all the detail. 

I’m looking forward meeting like minded, professionals in the community while growing my knowledge and my portfolio of properties.

To all you professionals who contribute bits of advice here, thank you for your time!

I doubt your llc will qualify for the 20% deduction...there a lot of requirements and other professionals such as lawyers, doctors and accountants specifically do not qualify for it, regardless of entity structure.BTW, since your llc wouldn’t be a licensed brokerage, yes you’d be violating licensing laws and I suspect are putting your license at risk, if that matters to you.
