And over time your score will recover.

How many years to recover your original investment? 

I ended up losing about $5000 that I'm still fighting to recover from it through the court.

I have been on BP website for about 20 months and since I am still medically recovering I have spent about 10  every day (7 days a week) learning about real estate since I still cannot walk.  

Did people move away because they thought local industries would never recover or because they could find better work right away if they moved.

Unfortunately, I am still recovering eventhough I originally thought that I would be healthy enough to go back to work in about 6 months.  

I was born and raised in Dallas Texas.I found BP about 20 months ago while I was medically recovering.  

Once you place the property in service as a rental, you can begin recovering a portion of your purchase price every year through a depreciation expense.I am wondering if you really meant to ask about repair and renovation costs to make your property ready for rental use.  

First, it sounds like the first and best option of who to recover from is your plumber and/or his insurance company.

@David Faulkner thank your concerns, but my son has recovered from pneumonia and is going back to school today.
