The adjuster has reached out to ask some questions, so I know he actually opened a claim.

Can the reported income to the IRS be leveraged to benefit the investor when applying for a loan or refinancing?

Discussing a shorter PPP or reducing it through rate adjustments is possible.

Eliminating any possible benefit of the trust.

By not taking a partial disposition deduction, you would be missing out on potential tax benefits associated with recognizing the loss on the disposed roof component.

It might take you 25 years (not 10) to replace your (inflation adjusted) current income (gross or net?).

I have came across HELOCs and HELoans but not sure which would benefit me best?
