Re: Lyme Disease

This shit is nasty. After 2 weeks of hell, the tell tale rash started to make its appearance, and the blood test came up positive. They said false positives are common, my numbers were extremely high. Also probably have babesia, which is described as a malaria-like parasite. My initial joke diagnos...

Two weeks or less would get you off the hook. A month? No.

Also, when you set it up for depreciation, make sure you check the real estate tax valuation. That is the limit you can use when setting up a residence for a rental.

Rass, I would ask if there will be more income like this next year. If not, I would match the income with the expenses.

If there will be more work in the future, it is your call, whether to take the loss this year, or hold off until next year.
