The only real offer I got through FF was for $1700 a month, and I'd rather leave it empty than take that and pay for the heating bills and the extra wear and tear of long term renters.

I'm taxed in the highest bracket but even if you are not, every extra dollar you bring in puts you closer to the next tax bracket.

Winter doesn't bring too much extra cost as long as the home doesn't have outdated appliances and has sufficient insulation.

i provide dishwasher if we are putting a new kitchen. also a garbage disposal.sometimes i provide washers/dryers if i have extra laying around (i always seem to have them).sometimes i have purchased fridges and ovens since it's best to invest in capital expense and get a tenant than to have a house sit empty forever.our lease also states that tenants should purchase the appliance plan, which noone really does purchase. 

Do an assessment of value now and after you get the ADU permitted * We have been in situations where $8k for permits could mean an extra $100k in value or $2k per month in rents. 

There was also extra bracing to keep the roof from moving further apart.  

Other asset classes aren't so the depreciation schedule may not be as quick/beneficial.2) And it is even possible to find deals that are what I call "super-shielders" and which not only shield all the distributions in the investment but have extra to use over on other real estate investments that are throwing off income. 3) Unless you're doing a 1031 exchange  at the end or similar tax structure to defer taxes, you will have to *pay back* all that depreciation benefit at the end (on sale...which for you is in 5 years)  via depreciation recapture.

Only tankless water heaters, extra insulation, heating/cooling, etc....

According to the pictures it looks like extra trashy place.
