Rent Back

Beginning a major demolition/renovation on a property, and am hesitant about digging right in before I know which walls are structural. I don’t want the place crashing in on me.
Withough removing all the drywall so I can see the joists, how can I tell?

Sell and Rent Back

The house is a two bedroom Terrace for £80,000. It has no pictures of the inside of the property. This is what it states:

Requires full renovation would ideally suit an investor, Garden fronted mid terrace with 2 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, No chain.

The renovation has put me off also with ideally for an investor. What things could it mean when it says renovation and also to suit an investor. Do you think there is going to be a lot of work involved in this property?

Quick House Sale

When we bought this house, the back portion had already been converted into a separate unit, but it was in really, really bad shape. We spent some money fixing it up, making it suitable to rent again. (Most of which was with Home Depot cards, etc.. as we figured the rent money from the tenants would pay these off anyway). We have been providing our tenants with monthly receipts, and will be claiming the income on our taxes, I am wondering if we can deduct a portion of the renovation costs? Or if there are any other deductions we can make, having a rental unit at the back of the house.. (we also live in the house, though it is a completely separate unit all of the heat and hydro to the unit is also separate).

Thank you guys for your ideas and input from my last question. What I gathered is that the smartest thing to do would be to add a barn to my house, meaning building a new one so I don’t have to face the complications of an existing barn. Also, I’d need to add fencing, of course, which is expensive, I know. So, nay of your guys loved this property:

And I do think its a lovely property, but perhaps not for horses. The pool would only be in season for a couple weeks with the Maine winters, and that’d be very costly to take care of. Also, I would have to fence off the pond, renovate the barn, and repair the house, and thats a bit tricky, if we want to stay on a budget.

So, the top three properties which you guys picked were these three!

1) http://www.newenglandmoves.com/viewDetails.nem?GLID=1011200314&selectTab=1&propertySearchType=1&associateSearchType=&cid=771762

I really like the look of the house, and of course, it needs less T.L.C than some of the other options, which is a plus. Also, the land looks perfect to have horses on, after I added fences, paddocks, and stables. The only problem I have is that I would only have about $75,000 for renovations, meaning stables, and fences, and paddocks, as well as anything the house needs. I don;t know how far that will stretch in Maine. So, let me know your thoughts.

This home was more in our price range, but it also seems ro need more renovating than the last house. Maybe its because of the existing furniture in the house, I’m not sure, but I don’t know how much of an undertaking this house would be. Then again, its loaded with charcter, lloaded with acreage, and I am in love with exposed beam ceilings. But whats right for the horses is whats right for me.

So those were the Top Two. Any ideas? Also, any websites with ‘barn plans’, since I’d obviously have to add one to the house!

Oh my goodness, this is such a tricky decision to make. Obviously I’d have to go out and check out the properties, but I still don;t know which one appeals to me more. The first one needs less work on the inside, while the second one is in my price range, and its so beautiful but I don’t know the condition of the ‘outbuildings’! Any help?
I also know most pictures of houses of houses are less appealing than the house actually is. At this point, I’m really stuck in between the two properties. There is pros and cons to each. In the case of the second house, the architecture is lovely, and it might need some paint touch ups, of course, but I have no idea! Any ideas?

Does this vary depending on the purchase price, maintenance, renovations, etc?

I wanted to buy property in Australia. I think property without land could depreciate in value and you might not have full control to do with the property such as renovation etc. Owning an apartment unit might not allow you to own the land, what about villa?

In ‘07 I spent about 18,000 adding a basement in-law apartment to my multi-family home. I was hoping I could write off the expense against my rental income. Is this legally possible?
