@Ashish Acharya,Do I need to reconstruct previous K-1s for the first year only or for all missing years?

REPS hours must be a work activity involving “any real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, acquisition, conversion, rental, operation, management, leasing, or brokerage trade or business.”

I’m currently working on reconstructing a house I own in Tbilisi, Georgia — deciding whether to rent it out or sell after improvements.

We are currently saving up in order to do the mold remediation and re-construction afterwards, and when that is complete we will move out and rent the house.

In fact, it was 3 days prior to me having my shoulder reconstructed, which might be part of why this deal was stressful.

While insurance might cover the reconstruction of your property, the community's recovery could take years or, in some cases, never occur.

That can cost you a lot of dollars.You should at lest be able to look at credit card records and bank statements to reconstruct much of the costs.
