I did want to redo the deck railing as they weren't installed correctly so it was an easy decision.What you could do is maybe install stainless steel wire between each baluster.

However, land pricing is based on many other factors such as zoning, location, the city its located in can make a big difference if there are certain factors that give developers incentives to build there such as transit, low income, walking distance to rail and other things.

I never felt that the claim against either of us was a valid one, but my opinion didn't make any difference: Someone was suing us for damage and seeking a significant amount of money, and both we and our homeowner client had to cooperate fully with the insurance company.The insurance company zeroed in on the condition of the stairs and railings.

Shoot, even just witnessing what an expensive vehicle can do to your net worth every month is worth the exercise. 

Would love to get seasoned investors' advice on how they would solve this investment/tax challenge: I am about to transfer 300k from a retirement vehicle so that I can use the money to retire early.

Here in South FL, garages are very rarely used to park vehicles.

I sought legal advice and found this was true so had the tenant move the vehicle and arranged to have three dumpster moved today.

Often a line of credit is not the best vehicle as nose bleed rates that non-owner occupied LOC command. 

You will pay an absolute premium for new construction, just as when you buy a brand new vehicle.
