-I know you're great at tracking from speaking with you previously, but as far as spreadsheets it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a list of vendors/local places that you can easily identify and obtain high replacement items or things like appliances, etc. 

Hi CHS investors - ISO appliance repair and tree removal companies that are fair, reputable, and show up.

If I were you, I'd look to step up in asset price a little bit and take down some easy rehabs (carpet, paint, appliances type of stuff) and not jump into that asset class right away. 

So you're talking about somewere around $400, not $3,000.Steel appliances scratch easily and require care that many tenants don't understand.

New homeowners often need ample reserves for repairs, improvements, furniture, appliances, window coverings, and many other unexpected expenses.For example, I still remember the angst of some first-time homebuyers who bought a very cute 80-year-old bungalow, and who also had to scrape up $4,000 for some urgent plumbing repairs that surfaced soon after they moved in.3.

If you have four 2bed/1bath units with the same appliances, split it four ways and call it a day.

I believe you could have expensed this under the safe harbor rules saving yourself a couple hundred dollars.Election to deduct, rather than depreciate, the value of low-priced items for your business, including appliances for a rental unit.

I'd also love suggestions on the grade of the cabinets, countertops / appliances.

- My Allstate landlord policy covers STRs too, but that doesn't include things like furniture and appliances- We use a company called Safely for some of our high-end properties.

But on top of a mortgage lies maintenance costs, appliance and yard upkeep, and HOA fees, along with property taxes and homeowners insurance.
