If you'd just put all of it back into another similar-type rental, I'm not sure what the benefit of selling your current one would be.

Politics is NOT discussed in federal service, it may be informally amoung friends as around any water cooler, but there is a clear line in federal service and it's a quick way to lose your job.Yes, the numbers are just as accurate as any other month, and they will be adjusted as all historic data is after confirmation of the trends in a few months.

That means your comps need to be similar to the subject or if a comp is used that is not similar, the adjustment can not exceed the adjustment per centages (10%), when you have two that are not similar your total adjustments will usually be exceeded.That basically means that burm and underground homes are rarely financed in the secondary market.....I know, I did two of them and it was like pulling hen's teeth, as I recall the LTV was 70 or 75% too.So this will limit yoiur market to cash buyers or those obtaining portfolio bank financing usually at a low LTV, forget about selling to the average family with 10% down.To get rid of it, you may need to seller finance it long term.

I have heard the home office deduction greatly increases your chance of an audit, I only have a small area of my home dedicated to business use, so I don't benefit much from the deduction, but I do a lot of driving to my rentals which are a long drive away and I will be taking the mileage deduction.
