Whether you can use Cost Seg to accelerate depreciation and offset your personal taxes is dependent on your income level and whether you qualify as a real estate professional + materially participate (I.E. pick tenants, repair issues, maintain property) in the properties you're invested in.

If you had any material that you thought would be helpful I would love to take a look at it or we could set up a brief call.

Figure out what the cost of repairs are, including material inflation, time of year, location and market.

You also might want to think about if you plan on throwing away any building materials ... that is good way to tip of code enforcement that your doing work.I think I would just get the permit honestly. 

To manage and create the ad set and marketing materials its $500 a month.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

So I called our property manager, who are on retainer for issues such as this.

I'm working on building a rehab cost estimator spreadsheet and was wondering if any one on bigger pockets already has the average costs plus labor for common materials (laminate, granite, sheetrock etc.) for today's prices in the Charlotte market.

. $250-350 were my quote ranges also with $2500-5000 retainer range. 

There are too many moving pieces, you need to know contractors, make sure communication is efficient, make sure the materials is needed are in store, make sure no one is over charging you.. just to name a few.
