And two, our rehab standards have increased, we replace everything that has not at least 10 years of life expecatation left (better 20).The easiest way to make it "work" is to NOT replace items like roof, windows, siding, driveway, plumbing, electrical, old trees etc - what I just listed is about 50k worth.

Not saying items easy to get those deals now but just that the area is appreciating as Im sure it is in most of Nova. 

Similar rules exist for appliances,  carpets, fences, and various other items. 

There are multiple separate items here and each is distinct. 1) Property tax rates are based on local laws and definitions.

As an Air Force officer stationed in Tokyo, I'm in unique circumstances to begin my real estate career; however, I would love feedback from the community here on a couple items that can help me get started:1.

RE is not a widget, it is unique and necessary, not a luxury item or something to be cavalier about. 

Also, when you receive your credit card bill,  are you itemizing each individual transaction and tying it to a certain property?

Also when I file taxes for my LLC can I use the items on this list as well?

Review the items shown as specific exceptions on the title commitment.

But I would do it to make yourself look good instead.Let them know that you have far exceeded your rehab budget on the items that have already been done.
