It is often lumped in with repairs, which is defined by the IRS (you can look it up), but is generally understood to be actions taken to restore the functionality of an asset to its working condition.  

Business and personal should best never go together.In my opinion it is necessary to establish well defined job functions and not to interfere with each persons operations if you must work together.

This despite the fact that of all of the economies just mentioned, the United States is easily the most functional, the most liquid and has the strongest foundation of growth.

I waived the home warranty as negotiation tactic because since home inspector went thru house and did not find anything that would suggest there would be problems with covered items on the home warranty.Home warranty does not cover pre-existing conditions, but makes exception for real estate transaction, if1) malfunction was not know to seller's agent, buyer's agent and home inspector.2) malfunction cannot be detect thru visual inspection or simple mechanical test.so here is my malfunction that ended up costing me $1300.the shut-off valve to the kitchen faucet made a grinding noise and started leaking when i was turning off the supply to the kitchen faucet. this is day 1 in the house. i also had toilet tank spurt out water from the side, whenever i flush the toilet, indicated a seal issue--again day 1. not sure how the inspector wasn't able to catch this.because i live out of state and had to go back to work on day 3, i had somebody come out to replace a total of 7 shut-off valve to plumbing fixtures, 1 main line valve, and 1 water heater valve due to corrosions on the these valve parts for 1300would home warranty have covered these replacement or would they try to wiggle out of paying for them saying the corrosion was visually present, and when not present, the leakage would have been detected had somebody trying turning off and on the shutoff valves or flushed the toilet?

Here are some disadvantages of SFR compared to MF:- not as easy to scale to a large number of doors (very few people will own more than 30-50 SFR)- more paperwork: one mortgage and one insurance policy for every single tenant- value is only a function of appreciation, forced or natural, not a function of income- only one tenant under each roof The last argument only holds water for medium and large MF, because on a duplex the roof is literally (almost) the only thing you don't have duplicates for: 2 kitchens, 2 bathrooms, 2 HVAC etc) - Many of the arguments made for MF do not apply in my opinion for 2/4 family (Small MF).

If the field and the tank are functioning then it’ll be cheap.
