Howdy y'all, wanted to start making a habit of reading the forums and participating.

That worked for me since I needed the time to work on getting my already-purchased replacement home habitable and move stuff gradually.   

Otherwise, it is pretty easy, fill out a form at the beginning of the lease and at each renewal, comply with the inspection once a year and meet the habitability standards.

@Jimil-Anne Linton- Sounds like you have some good habits working for you. 

.-- The property is probably not currently habitable and is likely not ready to put into service (bathroom not functional, among other issues).-- I intend to put it into service as a rental, possibly a STR, which seems to generally drive a 39 year depreciation schedule if I understand it correctly.I understand prior to the property being put into service, most rehab costs need to be capitalized. 

The key is I didn't change anything different with my spending habits.

I don't like speaking from feelings and opinions, but forced, my gut tells me Fed is going to "telegraph" potential future rate hikes to condition consumer habits, to keep inflation in check for pent up demand, but pause on actions as has now.

I am looking to convert the garage into a habitable unit.
