So unless its a qualified 'home improvement' I anticipate sales tax on the materials & labor on all quotes.In fact one well know company I use quoted me a price on two properties for basement leak repairs.The first job was not 'taxed' on the invoice but several weeks later the second job had the sales tax added.

This keeps the friction of moving all my stuff back and forth, and allows me to retain my housemates in the first home.

I've been listening to the Podcast on my way to work and reading though the beginner guides and other material on this website.

To discontinue the credit restoration program constitutes a material breach of the contract.

I am trying to organize the budget template a little more strictly because we need to track every cost, from framing materials, labor, to the budget for lighting fixtures.Does anybody have any experience in this?

You should definitely check out the BP materials.

@ Nick I'm a contractor out of Stockbridge and I have heard so many stories where people gave money upfront for material for the contractor to never return.

I can get a brand new tub installed, materials and labor for that price.

@Mark Caragio - while deconstruction may indeed be viable from a tax perspective, are there organizations (I presume they'd have to be an IRS compliant charitable organization) in your area who will receive the materials from you?  

Thanks to reading material on BP, I'm renting out the condo from 2013 - 2016 to some ideal long-term tenants, and make about $100 in positive cashflow every month (my primary purpose was just to have them cover the condo mortgage + insurance + property taxes + HOA dues + maintenance costs until the condo appreciated enough with the recovering market to sell for a profit).
