You'll likely be responsible for "normal" home inspection repairs rather than an entire tenant turnover.

I know the normal BP responses of Brrrr'ing and other forms of lending - but this is the particular route I'm interested in hearing stories on if you have 'em! 

The additional $2,000 in cash invested were normal wear and tear over the years and the addition of a deck.

Completely normal to take out a high-interest lender and "Refinance" to better rates and terms.  

I replace the built in microwaves when they break, but do not provide them on a normal basis.

These would not be just normal 1031 exchanges.

Normally, you can apply that laminate piece with a hot iron to heat the glue that's already on the piece itself.

However, you also want to be able to demonstrate that intent.Factors that would give credibility to your claim could include your normal practice, communications you had with professionals and your relatives as you were buying it, and the specific reasons that would cause you to change your intent from holding to resale.These types of things happen.
