Hi,I am new to Rental & Not familiar with taxes.I don't see much value by claiming the depreciation and as shown below, the allowed deductible rental loss is very less.I want to understand the consequences for not claiming.

I am wondering, would I have benefit from buying the shed in my rental LLC so I could deduct some of the depreciation, some repairs that it would require and even maybe some of the property tax.

@Levi Fancher can't immediately help you with finding a deal, but always happy to connect with investors in the metrowest area. 

I have a completed exchange where property taxes were deducted as part of the sale on the relinquished property.

From my understanding, if the landlord wishes to deduct any amount from a security deposit after a tenant moves out, the landlord must provide an itemized return letter with receipts for each reported issue.If a majority of the repairs/cleaning was completed by the landlord, how can you provide a receipt for the work (assuming the landlord had all needed supplies on hand to complete the work)?

Make sure you get quotes based on different types of deductible $500/1000/2000 and see the differences.

Especially considering doors were busted up in all 4 units.Anyways, the ONE time we had our tenant put a hole in the hollow core door (and the drywall- they claimed the fist sized, shoulder level holes were from moving the dresser), we replaced the door with a solid door and deducted the price of a hollow door from their deposit. 

If I have a roof claim, I want to know that I only have to pay my deductible to get a new roof.

Maybe deduct some money from their rent for doing this; $50-$100 a unit per month?

If we have a property manager find a tenant, costing the first month's rent, could we sue/deduct from the security deposit for that expense?
