Repeat lives on or has somehow recently died of wounds.

Because of the personal connection, we got first look at a deal that no one else had gotten to see and wound up being able to buy it.Approaching brokers cold doesn't work.  

I wound up contacting a GC and got a rough estimate of $33,000 for the addition, including the permits, but not architectural plans.

Should'a stuck with real estate. lolNow, several years later, I've licked my wounds and recovered, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things here in the Dallas, Texas Metroplex.

@Crystal Chang  wounded  :)  all of Ohio is not crappy.. there may be crappy homes in some areas but you cannot paint a broad brush.. but being a bay area guy born and raised..

Ummmm well it was great getting payments at 12am on the first of every month but I wound up asking the tenant to leave.

long story short, insurance took care of most of it, but it took about 5 months [ shouldn't have] During this time the bottom floor was totally sealed off and our tenants all stayed upstairs and paid half rent. so, we actually wound up losing some money on renting our home.my question is, can the money lost in our rental be deducted BEFORE figuring our social security taxes on our shop?  

Sales at U.S. retailers fell in December for the third month in a row as the record deluge of coronavirus cases opened fresh wounds in our economy.

About two weeks ago we had a really heavy rain and wound up with water in the basement through various intrusions.

Last year our portfolio wound up with about $30K in CapEx on $4.5M in value ... and that was a high Capex year.
