Some of the less obvious items that I've been nitpicked on:- paint underneath the sink and in the utility closet- any tree branches / weeds touching the building perimeter- clean window frames (the channel where it slides had to be spotless)- common area / hallway must also meet code regardless of how many section 8 tenants you have

Those sites want to capture you're info to exploit you for profit in various ways.

I just spoke with a lender today, that was checking on a No Doc loan for me.We seemed to have miscommunicated somewhere along the line because she did not realize that I needed to capture my holding costs, closing costs, and rehab costs within the loan.

Now there's no more negative cashflow, but some major repair items still exist, which I can't put more capital into having repaired.I've learned a great deal, but haven't been able to recoup the capital investment that was sunk into this project.

I'm a little confused about how the depreciation works on items that don't last 27.5 years, such as flooring, appliances, cabinets, etc.

what about other items like school quality, crime, (un)employment, analysis views on future outlook of area?

Because differences of opinion may arise between appraisers as to the degree of comparability and the amount of the adjustment considered necessary for comparison purposes, an appraiser should document each item of adjustment.

At a minimum, it should start raise eyebrows that there are no set standards of effectiveness...no lessons learned that have been captured...from the thousands of existing HOAs that can be quite powerful in an individual's ability to own and use land.It's more of a curiousity.

Don't tell me that I should purchase luxury item's through my business, tell me how!!

When you get into itemizing deductions, it's not quite cut and dry like a 1040 short form.That said, yes depreciation is a deduction but only on the building not on the value of the land, this you can find out from the county tax assessor.
