Think they have slightly different uses, but they are off the shelf.And for heavens sake, don't get dragged into the "it needs to be sprayed monthly/quarterly" rubbish.

Free and clear properties are more attractive targets (not only for litigation-happy folks but also - heaven forbid - for divorcing spouses).Consider your risk tolerance, of course, but consider using leverage on all your investment properties - even if you need to eventually keep your LTV around 60% or 50% so you can sleep better at night.

Super close to the Heavenly ski resort.

And right now its heaven for contractors , the demand is high .

On Animals, I own 2 large dogs and heaven help you if you tried to enter my house at any time I was not there. 

I'm heading out to South Lake Tahoe in a couple of weeks for vacation and I'm hoping for some suggestions.I'll be there from Sunday the 21st through Sunday the 28th so I'll have a full week to explore.I'm planning on skiing at Heavenly a few of those days but I'm looking for things to do on the non-ski days.I'm staying up in the mountain closer to the ski area (Kingsbury) but will have a rental car to get around.Any recommendations on things to do, places to see or great restaurants to eat at? 

Looks like its a renters heaven here.

You want to create a LLC, S Corporation, C Corporation, etc for one main reason (in my opinion) and that is it (the corporation) is considered a separate entity and thus, heaven forbid, you get sued. ..the IRS (in most cases) can’t come after your personal assets (the Lamborghini, the house and/or your money in the bank). . .this is key.Other perks include taxes, credit lines, etc.As for a good website to get your legal game tight. . .try http://www.legalzoom.comHonestly speaking, creating a corp is not that hard to do and if you do it yourself, it is cheaper.

Josh - all I can say is for heaven's sake don't do anything you'll regret this year.* GRIN * Have a memorable birthday, JD

Six other condos are leased just fine but right now I am busy trying to lease a seventh in the dead winter months.
