The home is a beautiful antique colonial in a very desirable, upper middle class, new england town that my husband spent 5 years renovating while we lived there.

Being a canny Scot, I've spent as little as possible - no guru classes or courses.

Unfortunately, when the music stopped this time, it came to a screeching halt.We spent so much of our time in 2007 - 2009 plugging the leaks in our proverbial dam.

They get the information that I have spent the last 10 plus years learning and I get what’s left of their fee for attendance after expenses are covered.

My 19yr old was responsible for all her extra expenses and spent less than 800$ for the year (she had lots more saved).

I spent more time holding his hand on this job than it was worth.However, one of my "glorified handymen" has turned out to be glorious.

Also, does anybody have any (through the analysis of many flips) analysis of the trade off of the more money spent for better looking items but perhaps resulting in a faster average DOM's compared to less money spent on less aesthetically pleasing items perhaps resulting in a longer average DOM's.

Your intent was to treat the property as inventory, not an investment, and that will take precedence over the fact that you happened to have spent 13 months holding it and waiting to resell.I know you don't seem to believe this (though perhaps I'm the one who is completely wrong about this, and I need to fire my accountant), so perhaps one of our resident BP accountants/tax-professionals (Steven Hamilton II perhaps?)

I've spent the day in Dallas.
