Given the proposed Decent Homes Standard, what are the long-term financial implications for landlords considering a BRRR strategy, specifically how quickly do these mandated improvements depreciate and affect future refinancing options?
Quick Answer
The proposed Decent Homes Standard mandates property improvements directly impacting landlords, particularly BRRR strategists. These enhancements, while costly upfront, are generally non-depreciating for capital value purposes, improving property condition and rental appeal. This stability supports future refinancing and helps mitigate issues like those highlighted by Awaab's Law.
