Based on an inspection report on one of the deals I worked on last year, I was able to negotiate over $15k of credits and repairs for a $200k house using a $400 inspection report for one of my clients.

As Greg mentioned you can do a cost segregation on a STR, LTR, or other real assets but your client may not be able to utilize the benefits of a cost segregation based on their full situation. 

Hi Derek,Based out of Surrey, BC and thinking of investing in the states as well.

It's a power play. 

Contractors play such a huge role in real estate projects.

I would not renew the lease based on multiple violations you noted, but also because you are jeopardizing your good tenants' ability to enjoy their living spaces.

Since you are based in California, do you know of any good CPAs who are geared towards real estate investors ?

My name is Monty, and I’m based in Freeport, Florida.

Just some notes to consider based on what your unit is like. 

Vrbo and Airbnb do not play around when they see you taking direct bookings from guests who found you through their platforms.
