Am I correct here, or does this exception mean something else entirely?

The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that B's child turns 13 on February 1, 2008, and B pays for the care provided in January 2008 on February 3, 2008... ...the amount B pays will be an employment-related expense under section 21, because B's child is a qualifying individual when the services are performed, even though the child is not a qualifying individual when B pays the expenses.So we CAN, after all, claim expense up to the birthday day!

On the surface that sounds fine except with VRBO I did not where I have access to their credit card to charge them directly but rather I could submit an extra charge and it's up to the guest if they pay or not.

The cons as i see it include loosing the 2 of 5 year cap gain exception, typically not an ideal rental because the emphasis at purchase was buying a good home for your family and not a rental with optimal return (my ex-home consistently has the lowest cash flow for equity in my RE portfolio), not disconnected enough from the property causes addition angst on damage and may result in over improvement.  

My thought is that it's too small except maybe for a single person, and it takes a long time to dry with those ventless models....I'd either go with a real stacked unit or just tell them where the Laundromat is.....Hi Bruce.

I agree with Chris, above, on pretty much everything except the white sands are on the Caribbean side.

Everything in option 1 except for 1:1 coaching. 3 coaching calls  per month and the ability to call/email him when you find a deal.Option 3: $2,995 for his course and a special deal of $1,997 if I made a decision on the phone.

A reliable contractor and an exceptional agent can make all the difference when things go wrong.The Outcome:This was a humbling experience, and I still wonder if I could have done anything differently (besides the insurance). 

-> Where to find people (architects, surveyors, etc): it’s hard to find people who operate on a national level, except for the main real estate agents.

I like starting small so maybe a food truck in 10 or so years :)I'm currently looking for investors to do what you did except focusing on commercial residential property in Kansas City.
