Bid #1 wants us to level the new spot, then he will put down gravel and a concrete pad Bid #2 wants us to level and gravel, then he will put down a plastic pad. He says thats all these use now and they are perfectly fine. Thoughts on the plastic pads? 99% chance we are going to pour our own pad before they come, since a poured pad makes the most sense to us. Is there any reason to think its a waste of our effort? Non-relevant details: We will most likely go with #2 b/c DH works with that company a lot and is familiar with their work (although thats all the commericial side of the house). We have bid #3 coming tomorrow. 3,020 posts, read 20,105,444 times We don't have a clue....... 1,459 posts, read 3,550,578 times 227 posts, read 778,125 times Originally Posted by Cosmic Maybe its for the condenser, not the compressor.

Seems the replies here say they are good, and actually have some advantages. But is the durability there?

Having to make repairs to my rental properties can be expensive. Knowing that I am able to deduct this expense from my taxes makes it a little easier to swallow. The general rule is that the cost of “repairs” incurred to maintain your rental properties may be deducted from each property’s taxable income in a given year. However, some repairs are considered “improvements” in which you’re not allowed to deduct the entire expense immediately. Repairs vs. improvements, so what’s the difference? Repairs are usually one-off fixes that help keep the property in good working condition and habitable. Although the price is irrelevant, most of my qualifying repairs tend to be under $500 in cost. Whether you’re fixing a hole in the wall, or a unclogging a shower drain, you can deduct the cost of these minor repairs from the current year’s tax liability.

The IRS clarifies in the 1040 Schedule E Instructions that “repairs in most cases do not add significant value to the property or extend its life.” Anything that increases the value of the property or extends its life is categorized as a “capital expense” and must be capitalized and depreciated over multiple years. Meaning, you can only deduct a small but even portion of these expenses in the current tax year. Improvements, such as replacing a roof or renovating a kitchen, are usually more labor-intensive than repairs and typically cost substantially more. The good rule of thumb is that if you are adding a new item, or upgrading an existing item, then it’s usually considered an improvement. The assumption is that these improvements will add value to the property over multiple years, not just the current year – and thus why you can’t deduct the entire $20k kitchen renovation in a single year. Likewise, when you sell a property, you’ll need to know the costs of these improvements and how much each one has been depreciated because you will have to pay taxes on the depreciated amount.
