The rooms are also darker, with the lights and window views too bright.

BTW I am going to the light show at the Biltmore in a few weeks.

Greeting BP,I've done a little bit of research and have yet to find the clear answer - so I'm putting it out here: Do you know if the credits for heat pumps (or other energy upgrades) will be allowed for a residential (single-family) rental property?

Needed paint, new kitchen flooring and some light electrical.

Complaining about bed bugs when it turns out it was a tick (in the woods shockingly), showing up 2 hours before actual check in and complaining the fridge isn't cold (was being defrosted), wanting a refund because a light was burned out in the hallway etc. 

There are missing globes on all lights, missing knobs on cabinets, cabinets don’t close and are sagging.

Banker giving me the green light to roll into a P&I mortgage after 3 mo. 

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

Time, Interest, and Energy. 

Those costs still exist- Your scenario was a 250k property that with light reno which became a 100k reno was worth 500k.
