Sold 3 last year, but extended one closing to this year for tax reasons.If not exchanging, she just won't be able to sell all in 1 calendar year and be tax conscious at the same time. 

If you can get on people's radar before you move, you might see some deals and at least be on the consciousness of people already working in that market.

If your conscious is on the line I’d find another property that meets your end goal without question.

That's a gray area but it's not our job to be their conscious.

When I started out I made a conscious effort to go to every meeting these groups had to offer, learning as much as possible and meeting everyone I could. 

I have recently become financially conscious after getting myself out of a mental stalemate caused by what felt like unmanageable student debt.

I'm sure there aren't, but by taking this approach it will make them aware that their usage is a problem and hopefully they'll be more conscious of the cost that they are running up.How have you all handle similar situations?

It becomes fun in a sense, because you are forced to consciously think about every expense and see how far you can make a dollar last.

I travelled for my work, and for a few years we lived in Malaysia, and we made a conscious decision to stockpile our miles. 

thanks , agreed need a more cost conscious contractor. when most houses here in ca are north of 1 mill i think contractors can assume 20 k is not a lot. 10k is a lot of money.
