@ Micheal CraigOk that is very differentwith no pics hard to advise but if a vinyl window it should have a mech most likely failed They don't have balancers per say but there is often a part that fails that can be accessed from the inside portion of the window on the frameI am a contractor and would hire this out to a window repair company chances are they have the part on the truck and the skill to repair. this should be a low level reasonably priced repair

With an installment sale, a portion of each payment will be interest, principal (cost basis) payback and profit.   

On your refinance, if you don't get all the money back, then the investor gets to keep a portion of their equity in the deal based on how much you "buy out".

It seems like we would have to keep a portion of money set aside.

I knew that renting out the side of the duplex I was living in at the time would make my portion of the mortgage even out so I could live there for free again.

They may be eligible to exclude a portion or all of their gain on the sale of the house if yes.

So if you need to move to a bigger place to find room for the triplets, the law won't hold it against you.Note: A reduced exclusion does NOT mean you can exclude only a portion of your profit.

I like the concept of turnkey because I don't have the time myself to put into fixing it up but would consider bringing on a partner that is willing manage that portion of the deal.

The way we work with a slate roof is simply to remove all the slate from the section of roof where the solar array will go, then tie in to the trusses/rafters with standoffs and either use a rolled asphalt surface or a rubber membrane to seal the portion of roof under the panels, then replace some of the slate around the edges so it's a seamless transition from slate to solar.

Does the whole thing become a capital gain, or just the portion of the exchange that you used?
