BK could have more negative impact that losing the house though.

We just replaced a 1250 SqFt roof with class 4 impact resistant shingles and a 50 year warranty for around $11k here in Denver.

While I'll argue that the system always did what it was designed to do -- measure those people who at any point in time were making the most impact on the site -- I'm also willing to accept that the system was never perfect by any means.With that in mind, as we continue our push to improve the site and execute 'Project Simplify' we've decided that it is time for influence to become a relic of the past.As you can see, there is no longer an influence score reflected on the forum sidebar or on your profiles.

I certainly feel that license fees and restrictions amount to a "tax" as well.Not sure how "healthcare taxes" are impacted by assets or earnings, but yes, in a way, but if we are going to count all taxes, fees, charges, compliance expenses required by government.....how about, Occupany certificates, sales taxes on materials for improvements which fall again under any gains, sewer assessments, utility deposits and inspection fees, engineering approval fees to building regs for improvements, all hidden taxes and fees hitting a property owner.

If it's a great deal and if your strategy is a long-term strategy, then a couple months of (potential) vacancy shouldn't impact your decision to buy.

Don't rush into anything unless you are really getting a bargain purchase.I would also make sure you are aware of how the storm has impacted your market as I would imagine it will be one of the most dynamic areas in the country for the next year or two.

If you plan to finish the space and can get a warranty on the work, in my experience, you won't have too much impact on the resale.Now, all that said, I'm under the impression from your original post that the crack is in the floor, not the wall.

That might have had impact.

This may be helpful to those impacted by Sandy.

Suffice it to say, I'd advise you to become well read on local laws and ordinances that impact landlords if you choose to let out your unit.
