Doesnt matter if its cleaning a toilet or replacing a door .

One clogged the toilet  and we ended up having to use sticks to get the wadded - up toilet paper and crap out.  

@Avi GargI signed a purchase agreement with Charles Lee and met with him in Birmingham.Our deal did not pan out and a refund for EMD as well as appraisal fees is now in order...That's where the issues are starting to develop: he claimed the wire transfer was completed for the EMD but since he hasn't gotten a refund for appraisals from the vendor, I wouldn't get that part just yet.He was supposed to wire the money back 13 days ago: he's now not answering emails or my phone calls.I'll let you all know how this all endsGeorge

Now granted they were crooks they deserved it.. but I also helped out a nice young group of investors here in Oregon that had done 30 of them and it was going down the toilet the sellers were filing complaints with the AG..

Your situation does sound like you made improvements but some of the bathroom stuff can be five year property instead of 27.5 year property.I would break out the cost of the toilet, vanity, mirrors, shelving, sinks, etc as these are 5 year assets.Then, you can take bonus depreciation or section 179 depreciation and get a similar expensing as it you called it a repair.Plus, you should allocate a portion of the original purchase price of the house to this bathroom then take a write off for the assets you abandoned.

I'm sure if the idea pans out, many insights will be gleaned.Which section of the market?

Half of those calls pan out to a rental. 

I can't count the number of fill valves or flappers I've replaced in a toilet on both hands and feet. 

The big thing that jumped out at me was the lid to the toilet tank is missing.

If you live in an area with rodent pressure (like adjacent to a wildlife area or nearby an infested abandoned building) you can not let up on the vigilance.A pest control expert told me rodents will run along baseboards and often pick an inside corner as their "toilet" area.
