If an S-Corp has an excess of capital that it would like to avoid being taxed on can it invest it with a Real Estate Investment LLC and deduct the expense?

As it is Obama is not taking very seriously on the world stage.

For vinyl siding it is absolutely necessary to "stage" your windows properly as there will always be some water getting behind the siding and it will show up over time.

Your capital gain is the excess of your selling price over your cost basis (adjusted for improvements and selling expenses).

Now I don't know it all but I do know that a staged home can sell for much more than a vacant home.

I particularly enjoyed the very last sentence:"Blaming the loss on the investor appears as an ingenuous attempt to deflect accountability for prior excesses in loose lending practices."

Everything from getting the locks opened (with my preferred locksmiths) to ensuring that the rehab and staging are done on time and pics are ready for the mls.2.

It seems though that some people collect influence points with the same mentality as a dungeon and dragons / world of warcraft dudes collect medallions and flying ponies or whatever.... via excessive post...

If the house sits in the center of 8 acreas square, it would probably carry the value a little better in keeping with the 50% for the excess land.If 5 to 10 acres is customary in that area and the comps support the additional land, then go with the comps.That's my quick opinion.

On a side not I have decided not to take any money out of my mutual funds during the first two years so if I screw up during the learning stages I don't squander what I do have.
