Cap Imp vs Repair Expense IRSI'm in the middle of doing some 2017 tax crunching last minute so of course I am on Bigger Pockets forum instead of finishing up my taxes :-)Anyways here's a useful tip on Cap Improvement vs Repair ExpensesMy strategy has always been to increase regular maintenance, repairs (Repair Costs) and spread out costs over time instead of the hands off approach to defer maintenance into larger Capital Improvement expenses.
