Like Michael said, I would use a cleaner once a month to clean or biweekly, restock the common area items (like TP, dish soap, etc), and sign up for routine lawn and snow services.

Just going to use this to button up the house for minor maintenace items. 

I plan to sell convenience items as well as fresh produce, baked goods, and hot meals.

Typically I would account for the cost to turn a unit into the expense line items.

Because the contact (a) knows we exist (b) knows the problems we solve, so now we get into some of the "HOW" items to solving, which NO is not about diving into in depth detail, it's general detail, over-view detail and reinforcing how we are GREAT at delivering those solutions.

Example: "Thanks for the list of repair items.

@Sean Graham, I looked up section 179 but it seems fence is not in the list of qualified items.

Could I do itemized deduction on a schedule E as an individual?

Hey Ryan, yes I was told that just a cleaning alone, not any repairs, would be around $200-$250 but was shocked when I was sent an itemized bill and was charged $550 to clean a 2BR/2B condo downtown.

What would you think to a listing agreement that stated a flat rate, say $1,750, which covers all items associated with building that listing.
