I also have worked on off-market deals where my buyers had to pay my commission.

I'm going to preface this with I'm not an accountant or certified tax-preparer but the previous advice seems slightly off (maybe based off old forms). 

However, for a landlord who has things together, they are better off budgeting for capital expenses and maintenance and having some reserves either in the form on savings or even an open line of credit to access in case a significant issue arises.

Mostly this hasn’t been an issue, more often than not since I work 3rd shift I end up having to call my handyman about something between 6-7:30am prior to getting off work at 8:00am.

., and my cost seg firm was able to hit 30%, so I got to write off about ~300K against my W2.There will be depreciation recapture when you sell, but it is a lower tax rate (25%) than what you are at currently, I assume. 

Labor to install should be around $400 per bedroom. 5) If you are renting to college students, you might be better off waiting for pics since you will probably get more demand toward the end of spring.

This would help accelerate the pay off period.

Alternatively, if you want to connect I'm also a licensed agent for ERA Live Moore, seasoned investor, and have access to off market listings that might fit the bill for a first multi-family / house hack investment property.

In cases where things are completely removed, I have charged the whole amount depending on what the situation is, you take all the knobs off something like a stove, I am charging for replacement.
