Depreciation can't be applied to W2 income so does not allow a tax arbitrage, appreciation from inflation is neutral because everything else is more expensive too, and only the value-add items are allowed to be depreciated on a fresh schedule, plus there is depreciation recapture at the end. 

I hope this is a fresh idea.

Irritating is people posting responses to threads in which the last post was over a year old and the topic was a time sensitive subject.Bumping a thread to me means finding an older thread with great content and wanting to revive fresh insight - this is certainly NOT irritating!

Some people around me just paint everything white, paint the baseboard the same as the walls, leave them stained and beat up, or skip adding fresh paint here.

@Cody Cox the last time I asked Richard Uffleman (the attorney that gives the monthly lecture at Baja Fresh) speaker at NWREIA he said wholesaling, if you don't close, is practicing real estate sales and requires a license.I understand that if you do this with friends and you don't get caught it is something you can do but...if something goes sideways, which can happen when you make representations, you are in a world of hurt especially if you are accused of doing RE w/o a license.

IMO, just have the CR message become a fresh PM - that would be great.

Other than some fresh paint, carpet cleaning and probably small cosmetics the price seems great... and it's walking distance to a reputable college... my guess would be 800/mo for rent.Where I'm going with this post is.... there's different avenues...

You can't go wrong with "clean & fresh" , but you can spend too much to get there.

A fresh coat of paint can help extend the life of your building and increase the marketability of your unit.
