@Denise Gabbard I have a preforeclosure in Estero that you might be interested in. 5 bedroom just needs carpet.

New kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, new stainless steel appliances, new fixtures throughout, new outlets and switches throughout, luxury vinyl plank flooring on first floor, carpeting on second floor, new vanities in all bathrooms, new toilets, 2” faux blinds throughout, new windows (more on that at the end), and a new water softener system.

Therefore, property such as wall coverings, carpeting, special purpose wiring or other installations affixed to the building can be considered real property under state law and like kind for section 1031 purposes, but personal property in cost segregation studies.

If you don't have full replacement then they basically depreciate the items over their estimate useful life and will only pay your what that remaining life might be worth.i.e. if carpet 5 years and carpet is 3 years old, then they only pay you for 40% of the carpeting's replacement value.    

An easy example is that I’ve told my PM to never replace carpet in the living room.
