Over time, I gained quite a bit of expertise in the tax treatment for my real estate portolio. 

So my thought was that instead of a refi on a harder to rent home in my area, flip into two or three lower priced homes that rent well.My question is on tax treatment. 

Kitchen cabinets, countertops, carpets, window treatments, etc are not structural.

Totally agree with Jay Dean Could require treatment and a few boards replaced, or could require sistering/replacing all joists including the plumbing, electric, and gas running through them.

You also don't want to start the process of "special treatment" because then you won't be able to enforce any of your other lease stipulations. 

Yes, They can require multiple treatments sometimes.

That does not happen by accident, you must spec what you want.The wire shelves allow for easier painting on turns, (easy quick) visual conformation that the outgoing renter has not left (a handgun, illegal substances, or a big dead bug) up there.I am not aware of these ubiquitous shelves being a danger to life...Seems like the tail wants to wag the dog here--maybe a harbinger of things to come.Either the renter or you are the boss...maybe a harbinger of things to come.Good Luck!

They turned out to be Carpenter Ants which is my responsibility, but she wanted me to reimburse her for the $200 emergency call, however he did not do a full treatment so I had to have my exterminator come back out for another $300.  

Simple to execute on and low (relatively speaking) capital to invest.If you are a visual guy like me, here are some cool property walks BP did with some local house hackers in CO!

Account ClosedThe bookkeeping for each of those businesses is very different and they each require treatment accordingly.
