Has 4-wheel drive and actually is really heavy and strong, can lift 1,300-pound round bales with a spear on the back. 

Many won't lift a finger to do anything.

Similarly, if the house sits on expansive clay on one side of the house. the clay could lift that side of the house and caused the cracking.

i lost a final offer war with someone else on the PERFECT duplex property and then this one I'm settling on now is about 85% as nice hahaha. i know its comparing apples to oranges but i really had found a "unicorn property" and lost it!!

Recent zoning changes now allow for three dwellings on a single parcel, and parking requirements have been lifted in denser areas, both of which have boosted the local housing supply.

So invest in some kind of real estate like apartments that need heavy lift and get the bonus.Otherwise life settlement partnerships can also give you big deduction year 1. 

I don't think the fact that prices have gone up 5 years in a row is a good clean indicator that they will continue to do so, if it cashflows today and I can hold it for 20 years inflation should do most of the heavy lifting for me. 

You’ve already done the heavy lifting, so giving up control might cost you more than you gain.Ask the buyer why they want you to terminate the contracts.

Answer: yes, we're less than a 5-minute walk to the lift but you need to be skiing at blue+.

This allows the GC to make sure they are comparing apples to apples.
