All of the successful small businesses I see have active hard working ownership that constantly monitors and improves the business.

It is all mathematics after all..Given the cash coming in, constant capital improvements, meaning changing but constant depreciation flow and therefore return with minimal taxes being paid,unwinding earlier must be the result of that emergency need or the said bubble in values resulting in a chance to eat the cap gains, depreciation recapture and still be able to beat that return with a risk free investment of the proceeds left by Uncle Sam and local state taxes.As far as believing a bubble is ever expanding like our universe, well,Hogs get fat, pigs get slaughtered.. as always.

It's a constant battle: with the tenants; with the city; and with the idiots in Washington to keep our businesses strong!

In the future, need to keep in constant contact with the buyer's agent to make sure their client is on board.

The credit you recieve, IF you qualify, is 10% of the purchase price up to a maximum of 8K.This was the case when it was first begun, but with government so many things are constantly changing and it may be extended.

People do get more satisfaction from experiences as well as being close to family and friends than they do from material possessions, however, they constantly need to be reminded of that.
