whats worth it to you?

[Joe Boggin]

house sells for 15k. after closing and assuming some back taxes you are in 18k before you pick up tools. throw another 10k into the guts and you are now in to the property for 28k. maybe some cosmetics at 2k with a total of 30k in before you try to sell.

if you sell for 40k that leaves you with 10k profit and after uncle sams gets his cut of your profit you are left with 7k? 8k? after almost a 6 months?

is all this worth it?
