They are all basically identical to each other.

Have it taken out carefully and sell it to a specialty dealer when the time comes.I think this should tip the scales toward covering it, and I almost always refinish my own floors, using my own equipment.

We obviously are not trying to change our identity but do feel that we should be paying attention and planning for new opportunities that will align with our businesses.

For example two identical buildings on opposite corners of the same intersection sold in the same month should trade at similar cap rates.

One of my first properties got equipped with the cheapest plastic shut off valves.

He said that he was quoted $10,000 for a Lennox unit with all new install, or $7000 for a York system with the same equipment that is there (which the sales guy said was fine and didn’t require a full renovation).

In my case it involves a lot of expensive equipment, knowledge of flambient photography, a mastering of Photoshop, and a lot of patience for processing multiple exposures plus flash for a single finished photo.

One of the hurdles is the doors and windows...they will have to be identical to the original, which means made of wood and sometimes even single-paned.

You can also depreciate capital equipment in every other business.   

I am currently in business development for an equipment manufacture.
