Very helpful, thank you John! 

Hey Ray,I actually have some real-world experience that might help here.

I would suggest if you are in need of help here to just have an accountant look over your entire tax situation and do it for you.

Some greatly exagerate the after repair value and way underestimate the repairs.Hopefully your previous experience will help you pick out the best deals.

Most helpful response on the site I found.

The brands I've been bid on have been:Eco WindowsCGI Sparta SeriesLawson IndustriesESWindowsAssuraAssura is from home depot, main advantage i've found is that they have a quick lead time of 4 weeks, compared to everyone else saying 6-8 weeks.CGI I heard its a reputable brand with a good warranty Lawson, cheapest quote but Im' hearing has a huge lead time now and they have been messing up peoples orders with sizes or specificationsES Windows, comes from Colombia and I heard spare parts, replacements and customer service is terribleEco, I haven't really heard much about but price seems close to what I'm being quoted for CGI Spartas Anybody on here with more experience that can help me narrow it down? 

Always pay down your high interest debt first.It only makes sense to invest cash when it can provide a greater return on your money than your debt can.Hope this helps

This will help cover the cost of the equity pull.

I try to stay on good terms with people as word of mouth can always come back to bite/help you, and generally try to treat people with what feels right/fair.I was thinking I charge a one-month penalty for breaking the lease, and they continue to pay rent until the unit is filled.

All help welcome!
