Many can create the bucket, but most don't know how to fill it - what matters is how it's made... just like "having an IRA" gives no clue as to what it's invested in. 

If you're dealing with suspended passive losses, this approach locks the overhead expenses in the suspended bucket indefinitely 

You have $15K working capitol , which is only a drop in the bucket when you are hiring contractors .

I say this because Ohio is on my bucket list to visit and I would appreciate experiencing Ohio for what it is currently and not what it might become under outside influence.Cost of living is cheaper and we have a large supply of college graduates in central Ohio

@Daniel DietzI see there hasn't been a response.From my layman's experience, the long term capital gains is effectively in a separate "bucket."
