Hello Mike,

I understand your reply of repair versus capital expense so my question must not have been clear…

When I buy a house to resell that will need some repairs, these repairs are a capital expense as the property is not in “service”.

To properly see my cashflow in Investor Books PRO when I do a report, I put these fixup costs as an expense (initially).   I do this under “repairs and maintenance”

The fixups will eventually be transfered and recharacterized as a capital expense at a later date thus in the meantime allowing my cashflow report to provide useful information for me as an investor.

My question is when do I transfer this to the asset?

Thank you Mike,

Hope that is more clearer-er

Steve
