If the nature of your expenses in 2018 are in the form of research, investigating, meeting with professionals (lawyers, etc) and getting things ready to go, then these expenses may be classified as Start Up Expenses.If that's the case, then you may deduct up to $5000 of these types of expenses in the year you actually start your business (it sounds like 2018 was not that year, so 2018 would not be a viable year for this deduction).

At some point a prospective tenant is going to complain and an investigation is going to be started.

Fresh paint throughout.
