I'm probably going to make a post in a more appropriate forum asking for comps of comps software (pun intended), so I can find a good centralized data source that I can just crunch numbers on.

Its like a happy riddle when you have choices, its fun to figure out.I kick myself many times for selling property all over LA over the years.But you have to look at your long term goals and what's important, no one knows what the market is really going to do over the next 3-7 years, its all up in the air, so best to plan for what you need right now.If you sell you get the homeowner exemption that is great you are taking money off the table and can invest in other markets - like AZ it's hot [ pardon the pun].

Alabama is unique (no pun intended:)) in this regard, which is why so many people want to invest here.

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and look at their "Special Order" section of laminate/vinyl plank and you will be floored (no pun intended 😜) at some of the options.

The plumber is full of crap (no pun intended😜)  because you can cap toilet flanges - it's done all the time to pressure test new drain pipe plumbing.

this type of thing has miles and miles of case law..and its clear cut.. no pun intended.. you get a forester or a mill to value the trees and then your entitled to triple stumpage.if its government land you wacked the trees off of that can become criminal.other wise you would probably need a good RE broker to testify as to what the tree's bring for aesthetic value. 

There is no depreciation on labor costs.Any feedback from others who have weathered this storm (pun intended) is welcomed.
