Currently I am exploring investing in new construction rentals with the goal being to better calculate cash flow at the front end with maintenance/cap ex expenses being low for a prolonged period of time and predictable.

To determine if the expense should be classified as a capital improvement or a deductible repair, the context of the expense is very important.An example is, if an item of expenditure is part of a general plan of modernization, renovation or rehabilitation to equipment or other business property, it typically must be capitalized even though on its own it would be currently deductible.According to IRS Code, expenses that you must capitalize are those that:Materially increase valueSubstantially prolong useful life (including replacement of deteriorating assets)Adapt the property to a new or different useHowever, you are allowed to deduct expenses and fees for routine maintenance and repairs that help keep the property in efficient operating condition.

Whenever economic indicators lead to a confidence in a soft landing, it just prolongs the economic expansion but at the same time builds more systemic risk into the system.  

Delayed Advertising for Vacancies:They don’t list properties for rent until the tenant vacates, which prolongs our vacancy periods.

My squatter is savvy and knows how to prolong everything.

Regular maintenance of the wood (staining and sealing) will prevent weather-related damage and prolong its life.Fencing: The wooden fence offers privacy and security.

After prolonged discussions, recent high-profile incidents at STR properties have finally sparked some action.

But not sure if tenant would resist and force a prolonged eviction process.  

Another scenario is if we experience another great depression, or prolonged recession. 

I feel as though upon coming back they will frown upon our hiatus, and it will prolong the approval process for a loan.
