By definition its external forces pushing on you, that you can't bear the weight of.Instead, try to create a long term plan that allows you to move as you like, live where you want to live, on your terms. 

do you have any carry over loss that you were unable to deduct last year?  

I am mostly considering doing this to use losses from the rental property to cut back on my taxes from the non taxed commissions I receive. 

So they would list it as a $100k sale because that's the loan amount they were clearing and then selling it at a bank loss. 

That's in brief ...my opinionAlso, don't forget that Denver is at its peak or close to it so that should have weight in your thought process.Good luck man!

Someone with fatigue is likely going to put far more weight on a certain deal than an uncertain 45 day close with no EMD where the buyer has to look for financing...

A loss would set your plans back or take you out of the game.Business situations plod along pretty tame...until questions about money surface...at which point it gets serious and comes down to being within the scope of the laws (i's dotted and t's crossed). 

I give the most weight to the names that are easiest to remember while still having meaning.  

(and certainly not all the extra interest that accrued at the default interest rate. )Question :  Do we, as investors, then get to claim a tax loss or write-off for all the interest (including the default interest & extension-points) that was not paid?

But for the average investor who is just getting started out and has a full-time job on top of their investing...go with the slow role....that snowball picks up speed and weight much faster than you'd realize.
