The last few companies I've contacted don't go into this much detail.

Once I feel confident on the gnarly stuff (which often comes after talking through the details with the other pro in the office, and doing additional research to substantiate my work), I move on to the less complex pieces. 

Thanks for your detailed reply.

If you are doing it in excel - a receipt for $100 that consisted of $25 paint, $25 tools, $50 roof supplies.can be entered into excel like$25 paint$25 tools$50 roof suppliesAt the end of the year you can sum up all the costs by description and provide that to your accountant.A couple things to point outWhether you expense an item or capitalize it will depend on several factors such as if you are increasing the useful life of the item, making it ready for a different use or making it more efficient.

I feel comfortable with my payments, and will have enough to put into a reserve account for cap x items when the refi is complete.

For example. typical fee for attorney review / closing is $10k.. deal falls through due to disagreement over major inspection item.. buyer and seller walk away.. billable time incurred was $5k.

If any items are left behind, I will store them for the time required by law.Does anyone have any advice or experience with a situation like this?

Be sure to include not just fixing leaking sinks and the run of the mill maintenance items but also make-ready work and other odds and ends, like regular seasonal items (checking furnaces, A/Cs, lawncare, etc).
