You include all climate controlled space, including closets and halls. You wouldn't include garages. I believe you also exclude any areas with ceiling height less than 5 feet.

Look here for more info.

Welcome. There is a lot of great information to be had here.

I have worked most of my life in residential construction. For 5 years I lived near Panama City Beach Florida building homes.

I decided to switch to commercial construction and am currently seeking a degree in construction management at Brigham Young University-Idaho. I am living in Augusta Georgia right now doing an internship with Balfour Beatty Construction working on a $68 million hospital reconstruction and addition. I will be graduating in August of 08.

I own a duplex in Rexburg Idaho where I am going to school that we bought for $150,000. We are doing approximately $5,000 in cosmetic upgrades, and plan on selling for around $200,000 when I graduate.

I don't know where I will be living after I graduate, but will probably be moving every few years anyways.

Google toolbar has a spellcheck.

You are right it wouldn't be worth it for only a few thousand in profit.

Am I correct in my understanding that Mobil homes are not considered real-estate so they wouldn't be subject to capital gains? If I buy a mobile home for $1000 and sell it to someone for $3000 with financing, would I be taxed at my normal income tax rate for the profit of $2,000 and the interest I collect?

Is there anyway to defer the taxes like you can with real-estate with 1031 exchanges?

If you are doing the work yourself and you have never done it before take what you think it will cost and triple it.

When he saw you see him throwing more stuff over he reported you to the police? For what? Maybe in your letter to the landlord you should mention holding him responsible for the cost of removal of the trash if he doesn’t take care of the problem
