You'll want to close that window as tight as possible for less unknowns to show up.  

Don't forget about the de minimis safe harbor for properties that are already placed in service.

With all these, please don't forget the tax implications of qualifying as REPS.

I’m a carpenter I have skills in demolition, hanging and repairing drywall, light plumbing,light electrical installation, installing windows, installing doors, finishing trim, vinyl flooring.

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: treat tax strategy as part of your investment strategy from day one.Most investors focus on cash flow and appreciation but forget that taxes are often their biggest expense.

They may well have some specific and unique to the property "special terms" where you might have "quiet hours" spelled out, or parking assignments, no window AC's allowed etc. but the bulk of the tenant responsibilities are covered in the main sections of your "standard" Rental Agreement (it might be a "Standard" form from a stationary store, or an online source, or BP, or your own that you drafted with the collaboration of your RE Attorney.

And let's not forget about the great relationships that can be established for investors who might be looking for flexible lending on more projects in the future.In private lending, relationships matter.Borrowers who build trust with reliable private lenders can, get repeat funding quickly, negotiate better terms over time, and bypass the hassle of reapplying with new paperwork each time.
