I love my 1920's home: cast iron pipes, lathe/plaster, window weights and all :)

Anticpated interest rates might be considered, but really have little effect at the sytreet in the next 90 days, while it is a factor, current market acitivity and demand for the type of property will have greater weight on current pricing.

Also if not bought locally pay close attention to the shipping costs, because of their weight it can be upwards of $100.00.

That way all they need to worry about is a choice of paint colors and possibly a few appliances as you say.My realtor has sold one of my flips in the middle of my rehab, but I just think this might sell it faster if they can see what the finished product will look like.

If you're adding a second floor, though, you have to be careful about increasing the weight on the foundation.

Do you hear “oil spill” and drop the project faster than you sold your BP stock?

I still need to find work for the plane in the USA for the summers here.I've got contacts for low weight high value cargo coming this direction.

So, that will run the trend line up faster, making for less of a fall before we hit the trend.If you could acquire some great deals (i.e., generate more income), it still wouldn't make sense to keep them.I miscalculated on the loss (what I get for posting late at night).

I'll deviate from my psychoanalysis and just say that you just have to evaluate the opportunity cost - is it wise to take the tax hit because you want to switch up your strategy and doing so can lead to greater and faster after-tax returns? 

It's a balancing act, you want to do things right but you also don't need to do more than necessary but at the same time it's often easier, faster, and actually cheaper to just rip things out and start from scratch.
