@Ryan Taylor If I understand your question correctly, its because you are taking out more money then the original amount.

Took a deteriorated home that sat vacant for years and years and oversaw the project manager and contractor, made all design and remodel choices, made the analysis of where the ceiling would be for pushing the neighborhood pricing -- and succeeded.

In our market we have 2 choices, deposit as damages, or not take it and seek further damages.

I know this isn’t what you wanted to hear, but I don’t regret my choice of taking the long road to get here.

I think the rehab would cost about $40,000 but if it went higher I think the decision would be to choice the other one ( i put an example with rebah being 40,000 and then 50,000).

Thanks, Ryan.

@Ryan Miller: What did you pay for the house?

But as I am getting older and families start being built, my lifestyle choices make it hard to participate in family activities because of the dark side of the restaurant industry, "Work while others play".

The Housing Choice Voucher (i.e., Section 8 Voucher) is just one of may voucher programs that tenants have access to in Baltimore.
