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

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%.

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

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

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

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. 

A finished lower level with 9' ceiling and 8' drop ceilings, big open living area, "kitchen" area, storage area, full bath, and full bedroom.

The bathtub will need to be refinished.The hardwood floor underneath the carpet looks to be in quite good condition, and should only cost about $1000 to refinish.The painter is due to start work on Tuesday, beginning with scrubbing the walls and ceiling and moving on to primer and paint.

I did a $13,000 rehab, opened  up one porch to the house by taking out sliders and   wall to wall porcelain tile, kitchen, baths, ceilings, all walls baseboards, anyways I am getting $895 and the  list of  applications has several 700+ credit scores.  

Literally mold everywhere, the floors, the walls, the ceiling, it was disgusting.
