It is probably fine because you aren't putting much weight on it, but the original home might only have had a slab and not designed to hold an addition.If this is a labor only deal, is it per-hour or complete job? 

My car is upside down and it would make the most sense for me to shed the car, buy a junker, and get a loan for the difference.

The effect is that you have a lot of weight (maybe a couple tons) effectively sitting in the middle of the floor.

With the relative stability of real estate (in certain markets) and rental income providing double to triple what treasuries pay, I can see real estate taking an increasing weight in portfolios to fill the void.  

Hopefully someone can shed some light from experience.I'm in Rhode Island and going to do a 1031 exchange and my accountant needs to obtain a letter of good standing from my state.

Using the Discounted Cash Flow concept or Weighted Average Cost of Capital, this property made a lot of sense, therefore was a reason the investor sold.

Could anyone shed some light?

Finding the good ones is difficult, but once you find them, they are worth their weight in gold.Yeah, usually Youtube teaches me how to do whatever it is I am trying to hire out. 

Also, if by January 1 you have not sorted this out, then move the bags of baby clothes and the few other items left behind to a storage shed, put a lock on it, and proceed to re-rent the property.

I have also read in forum postings how "pooling" private investors into a real estate investment is regulated by the SEC as well.Hopefully someone on BP know who might be able to shed some light on my concern.
