Some jurisdictions require the landlord to provide some sort of window cover for bathrooms and bedrooms.

All you do is collect a check whether it's to pay off your debt and keep in your bank account..Some office buildings if it is occupied by one big tenant may have Absolute NNN where the tenant is responsible for tax insurance and maintenance as well as structure and roof membrane of building..I am not too familiar of Office Buildings in terms of force appreciation but Multi family apartments offer that strategy..Hope this helps Good luck

You could explore a partnership or JV structure - same end result but less costs.

THE REHAB:2 Bathroom remodelsNew Flooring in Living and HallwayDining room converted into 4th bedroomMisc Updates/RepairsLandscaping & Tree RemovalNot quoted on paper but discussed/agreed to include in total price: replace 4 ceiling fans, replace exterior door, add door to formal dining room, install misc items (i.e. smoke alarms, wall outlets where needed, light fixtures, etc)Original quote included a complete interior repaint (walls/ceilings/cabinets/trim/doors); it was $4.5k.

Just curious, I would like to install click-lock vinyl floors in a bathroom.

Finally, with the use of Trusts while establishing these structures you can add a level of anonymity by removing your name from public record.When you ask that question it would probably be best to sit down with an experienced attorney and have them walk you through your personal exposure.

It probably does not really "save" on taxes in a tax-deferred structure, but would allow you through the benefits of tax-deferral to mushroom that income to a larger amount over time. 

Can it be structured so that they receive benefits from appreciation, etc?

The bathroom was a hazardous waste site.

If that's an accurate quote and a structural engineer confirmed it was necessary, I would recommend you plugging it into the calculator as repair costs and see how big of an impact it has on your projections.
