I really like the use of Home Depot to ball park the cost and then I can run it by a couple folks here to see if I'm anywhere near correct.

@Emmanuel K.The number was a ball-park and the actual number you'd need depends on your income situation (and hence, your tax bracket).

If you're sick and tired of your local TV newsies calling your MHC's "TRAILER PARKS" every time there's a tornado, hurricane or earthquake in your neighborhood, well...................................the ball's in your court.

I have been working on my real estate business for years finally had an opportunity and dropped the ball so to speak.

I would HOPE the Agent was on the ball about it, but, is he?

But it might appreciate more than other places...who knows...wish I have a crystal ball..:)

Thanks.For me: Advisers, Research, Travel, Experience, Boots on the Ground, Internet, and Time.I used to live in FL, I've studied it's markets and market cycles, and I've traveled back multiple times; but still, none of us have a crystal ball.

In exchange I will list properties with you as well as make you my referral agent when customers aren't willing to accept my low ball offer. 

How will your current tax rate compare to your expected tax rate at the time when you expect to start drawing down the account (crystal ball, anyone?)?

A Quiet Title Action filled within the private court may start the ball rolling.
