Are there any features that should be included to draw additional value (social areas/patios, bike racks, permanent grills)?

Additionally, there are some major property components which aren't visible from a walk-through of the property, like plumbing and electrical, and assuming they need work is safer than assuming they don't.  

I was so obsessed with improving my social life I noticed that energy is contagious .For a while my social life was reaching levels that was surprising my own eyes.

I was looking at something similar in a social impact start up competition.

If I were in your shoes, I'd focus first on a learning to be a good agent: learn to run CMAs (comps), social media marketing strategy, the ins and outs of contracts, and work on building up a network of "go to" people for help when you don't know the answer. 

These would be items such as: mileage, items purchased, tools purchased to repair properties.As I said, you can deduct the items associated; however, you cannot deduct an hourly wage for yourself unless you feel like adding that to a Schedule C and making it subject to Social Security and Medicare.There are plenty of items deductible; however, just remember if you can't pay for it... it won't be deductible.

A social worker on the case may want work with you and be willing to send a social worker or foster parent/guardian to the home to claim some of the abandoned items for the children.

IRA Pub 527 will tell you that there are three basic class life categories for your rental property. 27.5 year property is anything that is an integral component of the dwelling structure - such as roof, windows, HVAC, water heater, etc. 15 year property covers most of your landscaping items, such as new sod, sidewalks, trees, etc. 5 year property covers all the furniture and furnishings that you provide for your tenant's use (kitchen and laundry appliances, area rugs, furniture, window air conditioner, etc.

An agent that has the social graces, connections and experience to specialize in "luxury homes" usually won't pull anchor and move to NJ.....I'd think.

Which is like a business social security number.
