@Khang NguyenAll of the renovations you performed prior to putting your property into service should be capitalized .... it matters not that the property was in-service under the prior owner, you took vacant possession and renovated prior to returning it to service.Additionally, much/most of the work performed during a substantial renovation is considered a capital expenditure, not an expense.

You need to keep shopping.How long have you had it “In Service “, ready and available to rent?  

As far as multi, it seems most landlords offer free water/sewer/trash services.
