The IRS doesn’t have a ceiling for short-term capital gains taxes, and you may be hit with up to 37 percent tax.As you know, your short-term capital gains taxes range from 0% to 37% and your long- term capital gains taxes run from 0% to 20%.

What is the basement ceiling height?

Instead of just pulling the trigger and buying a single family house, I thought of trying to sound proof the walls/ceilings.

In particular I suspect all of the changes to the roofline and ceiling heights, as well as the work you'll need to from a structural perspective as a result, may not be worth it. 

I am a small landlord and hitting a ceiling with DTI ratio because of deductions I took on schedule E.

The basement has a 7'6" ceiling and dedicated doors for both ingress and egress.

Purchase price: $590,000 Cash invested: $200,000 This new-construction home offers an open-concept floor plan with 9' ceilings on first floor.

In my market (Cincinnati, OH), technically any fixture replacement requires a permit, so if I just want to replace a bedroom ceiling light with a ceiling fan/light combo, I would technically need to pull a permit.But in practice, if I am truly doing fairly cosmetic work the does not garner too much attention, I would go without a permit.  

How will you know if there's a water leak when you can't see the floor, walls, or ceiling?

You've got asbestos in the walls but it can also be common in other places like acoustic ceiling tiles, popcorn ceilings, flooring (9"x9" tiles especially), ducts as mentioned above, and siding among other placesInsulation, or lack thereof.Soundproofing, or lack thereof.
