The problem with that is two-fold: first there are likely existing assets that are not replaced that qualify for shorter asset lives so you're leaving money on the table, and second you have no cost basis for the removed assets replaced in the remodel as they're intertwined with the initial building cost basis so you'd technically still be depreciating retired assets which is tax fraud. 

@Yousuf KaleemI used to live in Davis and now in the Tahoe Reno, NV market.

I'd like to purchase a 2, 3, or 4-plex and live in one of the units and rent out the others as my best way to get into this crazy bay area market. 

I was telling my brother this, but this era of harsher rates, less liquidity is going to make Americans a lot more diligent with who they live with, work for, how money,  works. etc.

Of course since we’d be living in 1 side that would get cut in half but that’s fine.

I love to talk and listen to others about their own journeys when it comes to Investing and how it has affected their lives. 

But I might leave in in the master and the “living room”.

Over in the Westshore Marina District, you have luxury waterfront living that’s booming with upscale amenities.

I am living in the main house while I wait to get into position for my next investment.

It was really surprising how little attention they paid, especially when we had clear evidence of neglect with videos and photos.
