Converting Residence to Rental - When to start making upgrades?
13 September 2020 | 3 replies
We will likely make some changes in the next 12 months for “our” appreciation and use but hold off on others intended to increase its rent-ability.Generally, the repairs made on your primary residence are non deductible however a taxpayer who is an individual may capitalize amounts paid for repairs and maintenance that are made at the same time as capital improvements to units of property not used in the taxpayer's trade or business or for the production of income if the amounts are paid as part of an improvement (for example, a remodeling) of the taxpayer's residence.The money you spend right now will get added to the basis and will be recovered via depreciation or when you sell it.

There are complex reasons but just understand that I am limited in footprint and cannot add more total square footage to the build.My opinion is that the Master bedroom sells the place to tenents, after all those in the master are paying the bill, and that a trade off to have an excellent master but a smaller size for the secondary bedrooms is acceptable.
