Given a fixed monthly payment, it's easier to refi a lower principal amount than a higher principal amount.Tony is interested in buying the property, not pretending to provide tax advice.

No matter what you do you will not make all members of BP happy.So the goal is to make most of the members happy with strategies that will fit the direction of your company and your growth plans.I belong to other forums as well real estate related and they all operate with different variations.As my friend that owns a technology company says "No matter who you choose for website,seo,etc,etc. they will all have positives and negatives"You have to decide if they positives outweigh the negatives of who you are doing business with.Using his company the positive is we are usually on the cutting edge way ahead of everyone else.The downside is the developers are constantly blazing the trail with new code and running into issues.So when you set trends you can reap huge rewards because you are doing what many are not but there is a lot of trial and error and time in that as well.You will hit a breaking point no matter if you added 20 more features to BP PRO.That is why a poll in my opinion is key to determining a successful price point.To give you an idea the system I use costs 650 a year.I have been using it for almost 4 years.New subscribers pay about 2,000 a year.I am grandfathered in but they have added so many new features that rates have gone up for people coming in.For me I don't care that BP has 100,000 members.What I care about is direct decision makers who can do a deal.If there are 1,000 direct decision makers that is who I want to connect with.People who are trying to make a deal happen to make 5k to now have 10k total assets should have their own forum.Time is valuable and there is only so much in a day.A system that would filter the pretenders from the real deals would be priceless.

They are pretend investors who want to TALK about deals.

You may not have an eviction or vacancy for a year, beu then you could have 2 in the second year, you never know so "pretending" that all the 50% costs actually occured each month by sending them to the reserve account is the wise thing to do.Your next question may be, what if my reserve account grows to 6 months worth of gross rents, should I continue to keep taking the expenses not spent and depositing into the reserve savings account?

The second may or may not be made whole, again depending on if this value is real or imagined (not easy to tell the difference for many these days or if any lien holder still believes to property is worth much more than it really is).So pretend you have the third you bought for 2k.

First, thank you for posting...Second, thank you for posting in the real estate forums, and not the Politics forum...while this is clearly good fodder for over there, it's better here...This is clearly a ridiculous rule, for lots of reasons...if you want to protect renters, that's great...but don't pretend like you're protecting renters just to generate revenue for your government department...

In this area I finally just had to stop pretending it didn't matter & tighten up.

besides you can pretend your a dentist doing a root canal.

Yes, there are 35,000 members, but 34,990 of them are wannabes and pretend-to-bes and maybe 10 are successful investors.

Everytime I get the urge to smoke I pretend its someone else trying to get me to smoke.
