Thinking strategically allows you to filter through the 100 items that all feel like they are on the A list and distill them down to the "what is the most important items I need to complete today"The manic pace of email, social media, phone calls, follow up, text messaging.

If its small misc. items Id say send the contractor to get what he needs then pay for the order by phone.

Originally posted by @Natalie Kolodij:You're mixing up schedules with tax returns.Yes, I did not use the proper terminology.What I wanted to convey, is the confusion about the itemized deduction on schedule A (reported on line 10/11) that was the usual home mortgage deduction and the rental property investment expenses that would be on schedule E. 

One question please: Item 2 - “downward pressure on SFR/MFR”. can you please clarify what that means?

Normally just the most popular colors or just one brand of item. 

Is it a capital expenditure or a regular maintenance item?

On a 12-month basis, overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy are running below 2 percent.

I was thinking of adding a clause that states appliances are supplied for tenant to use but if anything malfunctions, they are responsible for the upkeep and if they replace they can take the item with them when they move out, etc. 3.

As I am sure you know, there is a laundry list of items that lenders look for including litigation, strength of the management, budgeting, etc. 

I do a journal entry for the month crediting income/rent revenue, late fees etc, less the expenses (itemized by different expense categories of PM fee, repair, postage etc) totaling my deposit.
