Is it possible to have a phone conversation?

However, if you sell instead of rebuilding, the IRS may include part of the payout in your taxable gain unless reinvested under the §1033 involuntary conversion rules, which allow you to defer taxes by purchasing a similar property within two years.If the property was your primary residence, you may exclude up to $250K (single) or $500K (married) of gains if you lived there for at least 2 of the last 5 years, likely resulting in no taxes owed.

Accountant is more for double checking return and having in depth conversations about taxes and business. 

For new builds and some rehabs they are vented but in some conversions or apartment remodels I will opt for the ventless units.

I haven't booked anyone from FF this past year, but I might keep one unit open to keep the conversation open.
