However, repairs can only be deducted if you have the place rented out, else has to be depreciated.None the less, replacing the roof, new carpeting, kitchen cabinets to do over the place falls under depreciation rather than repair.My experience had been to componentize the depreciation rather than clump them all together when I did the first rehab.

So an ARV can not depend on agent commissions.Now an offer price depends on everything (ARV, Holding costs, Smurfpoopies clean up from rampant smurfs pooping their pants as Gargamel was chasing them.

Agree with Adam, and that fee assumes clean and reconciled financials are provided (trial balance, profit & loss, balance sheet, and general ledger in Excel format).Partnerships are anything but simple now.

From what I can gather from various forums and reading the articles of law, painting, changing carpets and other such cosmetic maintenance are NOT the responsibility of the landlord, even after 10 years.

Septic System Replacement/Cleaning

I feel like I need to have the carpets replaced, HVAC deep cleaned, blinds replaced, window seals cleaned and anything else that you can think of.

I'm talking about a single home, like a group living situation where people share a house but rent a single room in that house, and people share bathrooms and share cleaning duties as a community agreement.

We signed the lease, everyone was happy, I knocked $100 off the initial deposit so they could clean.   

We refunded the security deposit minus a cleaning fee, as per lease.
