Anyways, on my latest project, the title came back yesterday and revealed two extra parcels of land deeded to the seller under the property I was under contract for.

I don't live in CA, and wasn't aware of the Prop 13 passing to the next owner if it's parent to child and both live in it as their primary.

I think most people are content with a decent tv in a comfy living room. 

If you are a Dr. who is investing for extra returns and do not have a worry about Capex then invest the $300.

Just to confirm my understanding, you are living in a side by side duplex in Miami - you want to renovate the other side that you aren't living with a renovation loan?

You have the ability to sell while limiting your capital gains tax because you lived in 2 of the last 5 years. 

We literally walked the property on live video with you and showed you everything you asked to see.

I assume you’ve got a loan that says you will be living there.

Hi Devin, Have you ever considered that instead of America needing smaller homes that are more affordable, that America needs more higher paying jobs so that people can live the actual American dream versus having to settle for less and less and less (Has George Carlin pointed out in his classic speech about this). 

I think the big question is how badly do you want to keep the extra $50k liquid?
