He did say non-essential personnel....so technically, we could still meet considering we play a key role in the local housing market

@Mike McKinzie I agree with you on Indianapolis and Kansas City but I think Atlanta has been played out like Las Vegas and Phoenix.

well Jon that might be the hot ticket.. tomorrow when I have some breathing time I'll try to play around with that.While we're doing screenshots, this is what I'm purchasing:and this is what I need:

@Josh Norris,There are a lot of people still doing owner finance until next year, and most will set back and see how the DF act will play out.

I played credit card games to get me by and suffered my own mini recession and market crash much like the Wall St. crash a few years ago.

Since filing against the squatter appears to only bring retaliation lawsuits on an un-level playing field.

I guess I'll just play around in TurboTax see if I can't answer all my questions.So, I see how if primary residence then all improvements, even those after conversion date, go into your cost basis and are non-deductible.But what if I did it the other way, started as a rental, completely remodeled and deducted all those costs, then converted it to a primary residence?

As I get my real estate investing lined out, I've been playing with the idea of buying a couple of trucks if I ever have a little cash to throw around in the near future.

I've worked with some really successful commercial investors and some of the most interesting are those guys who simply have the chutzpah to go out, find deals, work their way into something and find themselves in the middle of great long-term plays.

Bottom line, you may be wasting your time playing with those pools.
