But since I live so close there isn't much I can write off other than supplies for the actual property or repairs, etc.

Low supply, strong demand, and rising interest rates are having everyone buy up all the existing inventory.

home needs paint, here is a list that I got quoted $7,500.00 for Ive bought wall paint alreadyHe is supplying everything else, tape, brushes, trim paint ETC.Paint entire 3150 Sq ft home Paint ceilings Repair texture and paint water damage in 3 areas of the ceiling Paint entire 2 car garage Paint all oak cabinets White, sand, prime and paint correctly off hinges probably 25 doors, and 15 drawers Paint all 12 doors paint stair case wood polespaint baseboards the foyer has very high vaulted ceilings. it is a decently large home as well. 

Supply flooding in the market will for sure drop rent, though will wait and see what the effect is once shelter in place is eased.

and something for @Theresa Harris  The major things to think about with work supplied life insurance are Are you going to stay at your job until you die? 

That's a lot more supply on the market.

If Real Estate is a reflection of supply and demand, the opportunity for investment might be narrower over the long term.

@Ryan Taylor you are not going to get "Wholesale rates" The way capital markets work is based on supply and demand.
