@Scott C. don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

If you cut down all the trees (or clear the wrong section) without actually knowing what your buyer would have preferred, you could even hurt the property's value (because the buyer who would have paid the most wanted it to be completely wooded - and now doesn't meet their needs anymore).I wouldn't suggest taking any kind of permanent action like this until you know what your buyer wants.

The Fed then immediately cutting its short-term interest rate to even lower than pre-1937 period.

Keeping the books straight is fundamental to running a successful business.My $0.02.

We communicate with all of our renters before the first of each month..that's their chance and only chance to be straight with us and let us know if the rent will be late.

The remaining 10k would be depreciated over 5 years.It will qualify; however, you may want to straight line depreciate it or just take bonus depreciation to push some expenses to next year.

Cut your losses and move on.

I don't fill out documents for a purchase transaction for less than $5K, that's just minimum, that means my deal needs to cut $8,750 plus costs, likely $10K to sneeze at it.Using high cost money cuts your profits, often a lender can make more than the investor ends up with!

Can't access from the left even if I pull the toilet and cut the drywall, there would be at least a stud or two in the way.

It would be the best to find a lawyer that understands the Dodd Frank law to give you straight answers, but I think it is a wait and see how the law will effect everyone.
