Replaced all flooring, roof, cabinets, marble counters, light fixtures, stainless appliances, interior paint, ceiling repair, new walk in shower in master, new bathroom vanities, shelves in bathroom, chain link fence, new Air Conditioning, and landscaping.What was the outcome?

When you have vacancy, even if you can fill it quickly, you're often having to clean/paint/fix things and that could cost you a month's rent, even if you don't actually have a month-long vacancy (and if you're paying a mgmt company, they're probably taking a month's rent (or half) every time they re-fill, so that vacancy number can get up there).I think $5K/yr for CapEx and maintenance could be a good number, but it all depends on the condition of the house.

My boyfriend later moved in with me into the second home and about a year later we got married.It is my understanding after talking to a local property lawyer that because 3 requirements were met, the rental property is still considered mine as a sole owner (the 3 conditions being: 1- asset was purchased before marriage. 2- we never lived there together as a couple. 3- all income & expenses for the property were kept separate from joint funds and are easily accountable). 

I don't think the issue is with it being historic directly, it probably is more to do with conditions associated with the age.

the tenant (single mom) was living there for 6 years and tenant had kept the property in great condition. 

What condition is the property?
