My repairs and capex somewhat overshoot actual amounts though when I analyze by breaking down cost per items in my more detailed sheets. 

@Ann Rosen the ICO market has been pretty bad the past couple of months with most ICOs debuting at ~50% losses.

I did not see any cost included for those items (where I provide snow plowing it costs me around $500/season, I cut my own lawns but paying someone would probably cost at least another $50/month during the lawn mowing season).5.

Thanks for the reply @Aaron Osgood.She isn't picking finishes although I have been running some items by her for her opinion since she's involved in that market. 

So you will need to permit and construct these items on your end.

The trouble is my 2017 tax return shows a loss due to it being a big growth year for me where I acquired 7 properties, and I put a lot of cash into getting them rent ready.

This could be a costly hidden item should it come up.

I certainly build in the cost of eviction and loss of rent whenever there are tenants in place with a term lease.
