The courts will look at how much you have to lose and $1000 is tiny, maybe not worth paying a lawyer.  

You can't lose either way, (selling or holding) as you are not negative cash flow and price appreciation is still trending upward.

If you lose a deal by being honest, it is better than loosing a deal over accusations of fraud.

Stay strong and don't lose confidence, tough times weed out the weak and leave plenty of opportunity for those who can hold on.

Assuming you can only get a 6% return on your money it is now "costing" you $40K to pay off your mortgage early because you are losing opportunity to make more money.BTW, get a new partner or buy her out.

So in this case of a sale/ appraisal it would be a even wash on price appreciation because your lose garage which would decrease value and gain sq footage which ups value. 

But I know that I will lose about half my salary if I move to Michigan, and I'll work five times as hard.

There is a phase out if your MAGI is above $100,000 and completely lose the deduction once you hit $150,000.

Shows like this contribute to everybody and their brother wanting to flip houses, and then losing their shirt when they do.

We are also in the process of selling and moving to a larger home so they are essentially covering our mortgage while we travel.My question is, since our house has appreciated $170k since we purchased it 5 years ago, do we lose the capital gains exclusion if we rent it to them for a few months in the interim.
