The 6.5% that you forgo includes legal costs to execute the monetized installment sale and transaction fees.My 2 cents: I’m really curious as to how main stream or excepted this process is by the IRS, is it fairly cut and dry, my CPA does not seem too familiar with it.

Most of Minnesota soil is Shallow.  

A dried out P-trap or someone opened up a clean out and didn't put it back on correctly.

We had to hire a different construction crew to finish this project because Hoosier Custom Construction left us high and dry.

It’s not necessarily as cut and dry as you think.
