There were two repairs.

Tax day is upon me and I'm the idiot who who is waiting to the last minute to file the return, should of  had a CPA ..My question is that I did a rehab and repair in the tax year 2016 but wasn't completed until the year 2017 and the property rented out in the year 2017, should I have entered the cost of the rehab/repair cost  in the year 2016 tax return or should I have done the portion of the house that was done in 2016 against the 2016 tax basis? 

The last time I tried, I tried to do all repairs myself and I played property manager.  

Well, looking at this -  where you've included 8% for maintenance & repairs; 8% for vacancy is a decent amount for those soft costs. 

No giving the buyer 3% closing assistance or fighting repair requests, financing falling through, or appraisal shortages.

Repair Cost (So you can actually be a good wholesaler)!

I have not done this before and I have not found a lender to refinance once the repairs are complete.

Hi All, I have a property in NY that was damaged by water, then mold, and now is ready to be repaired before sale.

Neel Shah in our area the water authority will decrease the amount charged upon presentation of documents that prove the leak and repair.

It's a very old property (late 1800s), so I will be wanting to set aside a good chunk of money in a reserve account for maintenance and Capex.I'm currently self-employed and write off everything under the sun (that's legal, of course) on Schedule C including all home office & related deductions, most of my automobile miles, cell phone, etc, etc, etc.
