So far thinking things like:- replacing air filters- testing and replacing batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms- carpet and floor cleaning and/or replacement - assessing for leaks and all working sinks, showers, toilets- wall repairs and painting - appliances are in working order- deep clean- change locks and battery -replace all lightbulbs inside and out- minor repairs- landscaping Anything I am missing?

So everyone using it to cheat on a test, are cheating themselves. 

We are required to do a SOILS TEST before the engineer will design a slab.

I’ve tested a few, but Baselane has been the easiest for small portfolios.

Start with one property, test your PM with a small task, and schedule a 30‑minute weekly review to track rents, expenses, and next actions.

The most common test used is the 100 hours and more than anyone else test.For example, if you acquired a $500,000 STR after January 19th, 2025, you could accelerate $100,000 of losses with the help of a cost segregation study.

To find real flippers and build a reliable team, lead with value and tight filters: define your flip box, then post and ask at local meetups, investor FB groups, and supply houses for intros to GCs, agents, and lenders who’ve closed multiple flips this year; run quick interviews, verify with photos, permits, and past HUDs, and start them on a small, time‑boxed task to test communication, updates, and workmanship before giving bigger scopes.

We did something similar and rented it to friends and people we knew in order to do a test run and have them comment on what needs to be fixed or changed.You should be able to claim the entire year for both cost seg and depreciation.

I run a simple test: if fast money lets me buy a deeper discount, win an assignment, or cut holding time enough to offset higher interest, I take the speed and plan my refi.

I just sent you a PM with details on a $15 test batch—the fastest way to lock in that data quality.
