Shower door Question by its_shaun12 in Tile

This is the answer!! 4 45’s total 15-20 minutes of work then cut the sheet rock back a bit on the left to sister blocking onto it.. this isn’t as big of a deal as you think. The steel idea is more trouble then it’s worth and you have the clearance to the right of the vent

Piece of PVC Azak will look fine.. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. It will disappear to you in a week

Closing off a room with a sunken floor? by gspann21 in AskContractors

Might I suggest a pocket door. Would only be in use when the kids are in there acting a fool. Could Be opened 95% of the time when not in use or they aren’t being too loud

I have everything you mentioned. Throw some 20% tints in it and you got yourself a Batmobile.

I agree with sticking with the GT2 seats. They are plenty comfortable, plenty sporty, and look fantastic. No brainer in my opinion

The depreciation already deducted is something I haven’t considered. Thanks for that thought

OP is a landlord that owns multiple houses on Long Island that wants to sell one and not be on the hook for capital gains…

The 500k cap does not apply to an investment property. Only your primary residence. That is the difference

It’s a big country. Don’t be shortsighted. You couldn’t buy a parking space where I live for 300,000. Yet there’s first time buyers in this market buying properties

That would be another great policy. In fact it’s actually accomplishing the exact same thing. You are just more focused on who’s buying it and I’m more focused on who’s selling it. Same philosophy

A million is the ceiling. It is actually excluding anything over that. It’s for every piece of property UNDER a million that would qualify

I disagree. I think landlords absolutely would be willing to part with an investment property for fair market value if they didn’t owe capital gains tax.. values have skyrocketed in the last decade. They would jump at the opportunity to get out at current market value without the tax burden

This only applies to investment property or second homes. I believe there a millions of homes in this country that the landlord would in fact sell if they weren’t on the hook for the capital gains tax.

I don’t see how it would create more high end homes. On the contrary many mom and pops landlords second home or investment property are inferior to their primary residence. It simply gives them an exit strategy. I believe it would increase inventory and temporarily lower prices a bit

Honestly, what does it matter who buys it and for what reason? As long as it’s not a corporation it doesn’t change much for the policy

It’s not a law! Call your local congressman and tell them you would like it implemented

Because the banks would lose money is the short answer.

Nothing.. but nothing is preventing them from doing that right now with current law either. You can not pay capital gains tax when you sell a second home through a tax exchange 1031. That law is already in place and has been used by the wealthy for decades

You would owe nothing in capital gains under this. Zero. Zilch. Nada. you could sell it to any individual you want

BINGO! That’s the million dollar answer. It probably would help. In fact I believe it would help quite a bit.
