The investor in this scenario would keep $25,300.To summarize, in an effort to defer $350 in tax today on an investment of $1000, this investor will wind up paying $5,800 more than needed on the original $1,000 put into that 401(k) account.You can pay up to 20% more in taxes on your 401(k) money than you will on regular investment capital gains.There is more, and this is a great topic of discussion.

To summarize it a bit, he went on this journey and was unsuccessful, he couldn't bare returning home empty handed so he flung himself into the ocean never to be seen again.

I know I'm going to have set backs at some point, but to mitigate that I'm asking questions here, and trying to get some pointers before I just jump off the cliff ;)But, to summarize what you're saying, you're advice is to stay away from MHs because the profit doesn't outweigh the work?

Here's why (and apologies if this is too Excel geeky):If you do your own bookkeeping in something like QB, and can't easily import transactions, then entering them individually is a pain - especially with multiple cards/jobs, and if you want to track your expenditures at a more detailed level like Drywall, HVAC, framing, etc.Dumping the transactions to Excel allows you to pivot the data by data elements like Month, Job, Department, so that you can generate a summarized journal entry which can then be entered into QB once - you just need to keep the detailed data somewhere accessible for backup.Example:If I pivot my home depot detailed data for March 2015 I see that I had expenditures for one job for the following departments: BLDG.

I will definitely try to find the 6 best comps for the place and I especially like Ramon's idea for the list of work completed on the place for the appraiser, I think that would help summarize the large amount of work that was done recently.
