@Kevin Douglas If the mower costs less than $2500 you can use the de minimis safe harbor rules and expense the entire cost in the year of purchase.

The rules get very murky at this point and I am sure some de minimis rules apply.

The backhoe hit the water line from the meter to the house and we had red mud wash all over the cul-de-sac, which promptly froze.

My comp errors included such basics as (a) not realizing that an identical floorplan in a cul de sac is worth more than one in a regular street and (b) not discounting my property for the fact that it did not have a pool.

(in delaware, anyway) To me, that could mean just about anything.

Idk, but I just bought Dolf De Roos book "Real Estate Riches" and fell in love with real estate and have been hard core reading about it ever since.

For us new investors trying to get our foot in the door, it can be really de motivating to hear someone like you talking down to him.I think the purpose of these forums are to encourage each other to succeed.
