I did file a claim with my INS which provides coverage because the tree fell and damaged my fence.

With thousands of dollars spent and no income coming in, I have fell into a hole.

Wayne & Natalie - I've been trying to confirm this issue for some time now and I fell across the attached IRS document and if I'm reading it right, page 17 exert b. claims that If i've lived in the house for less than 2 years, I can indeed prorate it by the number of days lived in the house out of the 730 days in a 2 year period.

Like lets say he spent the money on a bad contractor and the roof fell on someone.

This lead literally fell into my lap this morning.

Both duplexes have had a bit of a history on the MLS - i.e. they were originally listed over 96 days ago, went into contract and for various reasons fell out of contract.  

I did find some court cases in NY back in '87 that saw when 9 children fell to their deaths in 7 months.

Ceiling fell down.

I tried the meet-up group, but I hear that it fell apart.

Almost three weeks later, the deal fell through as there were numerous damages to the property and code violations etc. and it would have cost me a fortune to fix it.Now I'm stuck with no property and a big capital gains tax bill to pay.
