I'd say wait until after 20 Jan - There will be ZERO bad news on TV and there will be a groundswell of love and caring now that OrangeMan is gone.However, think I'd act before the tidal wave of new taxes hits you.

The other bidder offered way more then I did, but didn't agree to a appraisal waver if the value didnt come in right for him and I waved the appraisal protection and assumed that risk.Originally posted by @Joe Splitrock:Just like any war, everyone ends up loosing something.
