Hello, I'm new to the forum.I have a 5000 Sq/ft Commercial Building, with Large private concrete paved and concrete walled yard (about 30,000 SQ ft of yard space). 

did the entire yard new and added a modern touch to the property.

The credit tenant will be relocating to a free standing building with drive-thru at the next intersection on the same street about 100 yards away.  

Buying 3000-4000 sqft homes for 150ish and doing 130,000 or renovations.The properties are in such bad shape no one will insure me so my hard money lender may back out since I cant find insurance.The trouble is the houses have roof leaks, crumbling porches, broken windows and debris in the yard, all things insurance companies hate.And no, a normal vacant and under renovation policy wont work.

Don't underestimate the power of a yard sign and posting on FB. 

I'll never forget a conversation I had once when I young, stupid and naive about from where money came because I think I was 25 when I realized there wasn't a money tree in my parents back yard!

I have a 4 plex in Leucadia, CA and I've been using unlicensed guys to do handyman type work and yard work for years.   

I'm talking new cabinets, flooring, fixtures, lighting, paint, counter tops, appliances, pool resurfacing, facia repair, exterior paint, new patio deck, the whole nine yards in other words. 

These units seem to be averaging $1000 fully renovated (nice yards, interiors, etc.).

Any other examples would be great to learn about.Thank you Just various forms of depreciation (something suffering wear and tear over time) and depletion (the well in your back yard that has oil being extracted).
