Thanks Art, I appreciate the response. 

I don't think many judges would either, especially in the liberal state I live in.

I have a sizeable 401k from a former employer that needs to be liberated asap, and will be, in the event that access to OPM becomes an impediment to my goals.

The documentation to get one calculation over the other is more an art than a science. - one time expenses can be removed as long the correct documentation is provided so make sure to keep all your invoices and capital expenses not just for us but for your accountant as well so they can create your depreciation schedule during tax time- The 7 year Fridge if depreciated, can get added back, however sometimes new equipment can be expensed completely as bonus depreciation depending on the tax incentives during the year so check with your accountant on what the options are.

Laying tile is a bit of an art form.Irregular patterns can increase the cost because they require more cuts, thus more time and materials.If you do these things, the floor should last a very long time.

New townhouses, condo towers, loft spaces, and art galleries have opened in the last decade.

For LA I assumed that number is 5% tops and that is liberal from my experience as it seems more like 1% if that. 30% seems super high here.

I really enjoy the science vs art part of it, seeing consumers improve over time, vs fall-back behavior.  

@Gloria Gutierrez Good comps are part art in my opinion.  

This is what I call the "art" part of the deal.
