It just so happens that none of the individual expenses exceeded the $2,500 rule even though the aggregate cost to construct a set of cabinets (example) may exceed this threshold.Since 1.263(a)-(f)(6) specifies intent rather than the end result (Unless you think (6)(i) would apply), since the intent of the taxpayer was not to manipulate this election for a tax benefit, my assumption is that they would be able to expense all of the items normally.Just looking for confirmation as I'm pretty confident my understanding of the regulation is correct.

Annual interest cost or lost opportunity cost?  

This is because at the current rates, a high LTV property (which is required to extract rehab costs) bleed cash. 

Sorry, but these are the costs of doing business.

Also, per their numbers they are buying for 37 mil, debt 24 mil, equity 20 mil, 44mil minus 37 price = 7 million in closing costs, which is 35% of the total equity, RE commissions of say 4% total 1.5 mil so they are taking 5.5 million in fees up front as well minus the inspections/loan fees etc.

For $45/month, you get $5,000 in rental coverage for things like missed rent, excessive damage, excessive cleaning, pet damage, and eviction costs.

For example, the current value of your fence in its current condition, not its original cost. 

If you are looking at homes $850k-$950k, you would need $212,500- $237,500 + 6 months reserves and closing costs if you are looking to use a Hard Money Loan. 

I  could walk the property and give you a contractors answer to cost and if an electrician needs to pull the permit or not.As most commercial properties have plenty of parking it comes down to bathrooms and kitchen and windows that needs addressed. 

In NC you can act as your own GC if the total project cost is less than 40k.
