I sustained back injury on the job.

I'll probably be back here whenever I panic about not knowing how to do something :-).

@Mark De sagunThe banks only hold back payment if the contractor doesn’t do the work on the SOR that is developed by you and your 203k consultant.

So, to repair the damages of a weak performance last year I went back to my system and closed more deals.

Store will deliver and install and it will take them a week to go there (they are backed up etc etc).

My goal is to start to buy rental properties so I'm able to take a step back from my day job.

Somebody wanting to sue for you backing out of a bad deal or accusing you of selling them a property with defects like unknown termite damage).

After months of calls, emails and texts our attorney has not gotten back to us once.

Hi, If a rental property come to market with $400-500 lower than market and be close to your rental property that you posted one week back, what will you do?

So there are a few ways to look at this, the 1st question is are you sure your renovation’s will double the property value, most renovations on primary residences, your lucky to get 60-70% of the dollar cost back out upon sale, so really nail down your comps, than you have basically a math problem if your rate on your primary goes up how long if ever before that extra payment is more than 400k in taxes, that’s just a simple calculation to help you decide, but I suspect you actually have a different question here, from a purely financial perspective my guess is the best option is to do anything to avoid that tax hit, but one of the reasons to make money is to spend it on things that you enjoy, based on your overall financial picture and a subjective view of how much enjoyment you will get out of a renovated home, you should decide if you want to roll your profit into another deal or “cash-out” your winnings, I love cars and I’m willing to spend more than is fiscally smart on them because they bring me joy, there is nothing wrong with that, but i don’t think it’s a fiscally smart choice, without knowing your exact property id imagine a renovation would fall into that category, so that’s the terms I would use to decide.
