That being said, those who warned you not to invest long distance are correct, it will be a challenge but the rewards are worth it in my opinion.

A knowledgeable tax preparer should come back to you with a number of questions regarding your specific situation.There are numerous deductions that I find get missed.

Agreed that it depends on the degree as to whether it will be extremely rewarding.

What are the risks and how much margin do you need to reward you for taking the risks?

Whether they win or not, YOU WILL LOSE (due to the legal fees, etc).The risk on this deal is high and your reward is VERY LOW ($5,000 to $10,000).

Little hassle and you make a few buck - go for it.If the deal is messy, not likely to close, will tie up your funds then you need a bigger reward for the risk.Some folks work a year in a job for $30K plus benefits.

It seems like a long and hard road but a very rewarding one too, and I want to do this full time eventually.

Or I could get good at staging myself and just relocate their furniture to show better.Still, with a risk/reward ratio of about 7, it is still looking good to me.
