@Bruno Tassone I think it’s time to swap PM’s.

Remind them the unit’s under warranty and you’d like anything possibly wrong fixed/swapped out.

So, even THAT inflation, wasn't - it was and is price gouging, pure and simple.the BLS would disagree with you that the housing shortage starting with under building around 2000 was artificial. the same BLS is reporting the housing supply shortage of about 4 million today. predatory lending was only a a small part of the Great Recession collapse in lending and housing. there was fraud up and down the mortgage pipeline with little to now auditing and over sight. mislabeled loans in A paper tranche MBS, derivatives, derivatives of derivative, credit default swaps, etc. a lot more complicated that stating predatory lending.no, that is not the literal definition of price gouging. price gouging is raising price beyond what is reasonable from sudden demand. all prices are rising not one industry or one company. that isn't price gouging. that is inflation.

Also if you are either doing a like for like panel swap or upgrade, arc fault protection can drive up the price.4.

@Sarah P.You can certainly execute a swap that satisfies the requirements of 1031.  

I don’t try to time the market because I have seen the M2 money supply chart and understand the government will always print money.That’s a solid perspective, and I completely agree with the concept of swapping fiat for something truly scarce like prime real estate. 

Painting, replacing light fixtures, swapping out carpet. 

Maybe we could swap notes sometime.
