I'm actually quite a hardass about these things and have enforced many rules to beautify the property and improve its upkeep.

Both the $2800 driveway widening and $3000 deck would be land improvements that get depreciated over 15 years with a mid quarter convention.

Buffalo is my hometown and I'm hoping to get in the area and help improve some of the more rundown areas.Thanks in advance,Donnell

Remember you can only depreciate buildings/improvements and land is non depreciable.

That would help get some cash in your pocket now for your move and maybe even some left over startup money for Oklahoma.The tenants that you would place would specifically be interested in purchasing your property within that 2 to 3-year lease term, but they just need to improve their credit a little bit or save up some additional money for their down payment on their mortgage loan.  

I think that area will probably improve eventually.

"The country's healthy labor market is translating to greater job security, but affordability is not improving because home prices in some areas are still outpacing incomes by three times or more because of tight supply.

I be improving my wealth at an exceedingly high rate.

There is no ventilation (other than windows and doors), so the moisture simply has no where to go!
