. :) I’m researching hard right now while I’m saving and paying off debt and would LOVE some tips/ideas from the pros.

I plan have it painted and to make whatever repairs are obvious and necessary.

Will be fixing the all the hardwood floors, replacing windows, fixing the small cracks in the plaster walls, paint, landscaping, replacing the front stairs and porch surface.

Painting, flooring, etc.  

Finishing up a 2 bed 1 bath 1400 sq ft that got new roof, gutted inside to the studs, new hvac, new wiring, new drywall, new water heater and plumbing, new insulation, new windows and doors, half vinyl half painted exterior, so basically literally all new everything you can think of and we will be at 50k.

There was no foreclosure, but I was paid directly from escrow.My question is how to report this transaction on my taxes - just now realizing this might have tipped me towards using a tax accountant this year but a bit late now!

Adding new roof, all new split unit HVAC to replace window units and paint/clean up the grounds.

It has a double wide mobile and a 6500 sqft old paint factory on it.

I saw a property, town home 3br 1.5 ba in Suffolk, VA, keep in mind I live in Northern VA.Want to know what you’re strategy would be for such a property:Foreclosure Sale price 30kNeeds cosmetic work, kitchen bathrooms, paint, carpets a little landscaping etc.Property is valued between 85-105kIn my opinion (a very inexperienced one) sounds okay, thats if there isn’t any other major issues in the property.

@Ben MMix some bleach and baking soda to create a paste and apply to the moldy areas with a cheap paint brush.
