China economy causes global recession due to hits in supply chains.

Well, it’s caused a lot of confusion to say the least.

Your query about charging the Tenants for repairs - probably not; it depends on if they caused the issue at hand?

I would advise you to consult your tax professional as we do not know your individual tax situation, nor what caused your initial interest in QOFs.To answer your question sincerely (with a common answer in the tax and accounting world), "it depends".

No harm in confirming.

Same day my Realtor called said I had to purchase an additional parcel be cause of an easement for 10k more.

Well, that completely ignores the fact that you are potentially harming sellers when you put a house under contract and nobody wants it. 

My tenant of 8 years vacated and obviously had allowed the dogs to urinate on the floors, cabinets, carpet, etc causing major damage.

There are A LOT OF TRAPS along the way that can/will make the deal fall through (and cause you to lose your earnest money).

That way you are covered for any damages they may cause.
