Just understanding this now..I was under the impression every dollar that was put into the property was able to be used as a deductible write off until My accountant advised me that is not the case.only major repairs that would prevent the unit from properly functioning are.

Fabcab in Seattle has some nice pre-made ones.Please have it be pretty as well as functional 600 feet is a bedroom, bath and kitchen - lots of light and open to a patio will make it feel large

If the fixtures you are referring to are plumbing or light fixtures then the appraiser legitimately would not be able to say that he was able to verify it had functioning plumbing and electrical systems.

See if your gate, you can get both a "slow" start and a "slow" stop function. 

Keep it clean, safe, and functional. 

I do understand their concern as the place isn’t fully functional for them.The driver did have auto insurance (progressive)I have home insurance (travelers)Tenant has rental insuranceI’ve already filed a claim through my insurance (travelers) for getting the place ready.

For me, this would be a function of restricting your quiet enjoyment of the premises, though I’m sure you can find one or more other things the tenant has violated.

I don't love a microwave over the stove but sometimes that makes the most functional kitchen and if you are selling what do you care if it needs replacing down the road? 

Joe - As a new member to BP, I am not fully in tune with how the website functions, so there may be a more efficient way to communicate.

I'm guessing some people are using other options that cost less than this and still have a good majority of the same functions.
