Should I look to calculate the depreciation savings on the property when making a decision? 

But now that I'm working on my 2019 tax return and revisiting the cost basis I did for 2018, I feel like it was done incorrectly.

Real estate, more than anything else I've done, demands that you make quick high-stakes decisions on the basis of information that is always incomplete.You've got to be able to pull the trigger.

They have been educated at that point and will make their own decision on how to proceed.

What you've got to do is adjust expectations and make the decisions now that maximize your benefit.  

At the end of the day, it is your decision whether to evict or not. 

But on the flip side, I don't want to piss off my tenants and lead them to putting in tickets for all kinds of little stuff.My PM asked me if I want to repair it or not (and is letting it be my decision), but I just don't know what the expectations are for this. 

And, typical lenders take 4-6 weeks to make that decision.

That decision depends on who you are, what you are willing to tolerate and what your market is.I thought the comment concerning the different types of damage was great - accidental, negligent and purposely.

Would appreciate guidance from this group if I am doing anything incorrect here.Regards,Nick
