Sometimes the gas company will come out and look at this, worth a call.

If that is the case, and you lived in that property two of the last five years calling it a owner-occupied property, than the capital gains will not hit you on anything up to $500,000 ($250,000 if single/not married).

Hello Douglas,First things first, you stated:  “Very early next year, I'll be moving to Fort Lauderdale where I'll be buying a condo during my first year there” Before you do this, make sure you speak with a knowledgeable RE agent, or you can call me, I will not mislead you; I will not be going after a commission.

@Dan Call Probably Winchester/Stephens City to start.

just call around to local banks and ask about rehab or renovation loans.

Do NOT call it a pet deposit unless you are willing to refund it.

Might want to research 'covered calls', a conservative income generating strategy.- <or> Go ahead and think about pulling it out, take the tax hit, and look to buy a good cash flowing rental.Buying rental property outside of a SDIRA is best and more tax efficient.Just my thoughts, good luck!

Frauds hate being called out. 

Tenant claims they have been documenting, which I find unusual, as they always tried to deal with me on the phone, I sent all of their calls to voicemail to force all interaction via voicemail and email so that I could document.

you would need to call your insurance company to get a quote but for taxes, go to the Shelby county tax assessor website and there is a calculator there where it will show you what the % is for the city and the county taxes.
