If you can get the receipts, and/or establish a written documentation of these with photos and sources in a "Cost Segregation Analysis" then take the total cost off your 27.5 year life property and add them back under the 5 year (flooring, rugs, light fixtures, appliances, etc>) or as 15 year property (landscaping, lawn sprinkling systems, patios, new driveways, etc.)  

I won’t comment here on my interpretation of how this plays out in terms of the DMSH, for that, you should consult your own professional.But…in light of all of the above, I’d be inclined to agree with Ashish’s post from 3 years ago.

At 5k for 30 rooms (which is a really light renovation) they are still 150k out of pocket.
