I wouldn't worry about calculating return, per se.

There are plenty of worthwhile investments at the 1% level, and in my opinion, even at the .8-.9%.Is the home located in SE Raleigh?

Generally, interest income is also appropriately classified as portfolio income (ordinary income and portfolio income are not mutually exclusive) unless the lender is in the trade or business of lending money, at which point the income may be appropriately treated as trade or business income subject to SE taxes.So, seems like all 3 of us have been in agreement all along

A dwelling needn't be occupied per se to be claimed as a homestead, however, you would need to prove with undeniable certainty that there has been a total abandonment with an intention not to return.

I will say that if you are not grossing $118.5k in your day job, you'll be subject to SE tax unless you can shift it to your wife.

A really bizarre cut seeing as there are not one but two airlines and a very large airport, AND its got one of the best arteries with regard to highways into both the SE, Midwest, Houston and Mexico.

I'm betting on SE baltimore in the areas you've mentioned as well @Emmett Freedman.

The age per se is not the issue, but the date of construction.
