So, I took it off my Application and haven't really thought about it too much since then.I don't remember now where I first heard about it. 

for me I would have been better off donating that 75k to habitat for humans would have got more out of it than a tax write off !!

I should also mention we shut off the breaker (to the garage) after confirmation from two electricians and our contractor that we had a serious fire risk.   

I landed off of Highway 64 between Cashiers and Highlands - so good proximity to both without a daunting drive to get to a great view. 

So, with my write offs I technically don’t make much money.

Welcome to the forum, Kerry.. your journey is off to an awesome start!

First off, Congratulations on your investment.

Taking these two pieces of info will tell you how long you will take to get an offer, so if you go past that you should lower the price, and then the other action item would be to starting off lower than all the other properties if the condition is better than your condition.

It gives me another exit strategy by having the option to sell off individual properties to retail buyers if needed.

Hats off to you for your diligence!
