But there was a huge crack in it, which was allowing the mold to harvest (with the addition of the leaking water main, which he did not notice either).

You will never get it back out until you sell the house or "harvest the equity" as @Charlie Fitzgerald states.

I owned 700 acres out in Willimina worth over 3 mil. and my tax's were less than 2k a year.you pay tax when you harvest the tree's a once very 60 year event..I am in Lake O and my property is right at 1 mil and my taxs are 9k.. for instance.

And if you happen to harvest in an up log market then the returns go up another 2 to 10%. per annum.

They are moving 1/1 onward.Others depend on school years, seasonal changes, and local (oil patch, harvest, etc.)  

To muliply the sin, we all got harvest gold, avacado or rust shag...or all,three mixed.3) High Investment cost... 

Bruce My nephew just left the apartments to go drive combine for a harvest crew that work their way across the county harvesting grain.  

It takes time to harvest, so plant early!  

Planters, fertilizer wagons, harvesters, grain carts, etc are already being GPS driven by Tech. 

If you chose to reinvest that money you should be able to make it make much more than $800/month.An alternative approach if you strongly believe that future value will be much higher would be to harvest the equity and keep the property, but the new mortgage would essentially destroy your cash flow.
