As a country, we've borrowed our way into a pretty big hole, and now the government proposes borrowing our way out of it.

Well, they can.By putting Bird Dogs to work for you there's more time for you to concentrate your energies on more profitable activities: negotiating with sellers, putting together winning proposals, and moving on to the next deal.

Should I take the proactive approach and just go to their office with my proposal in hand?

Rod Blagoyevich - Illinois governor - proposes a gross receipts tax that taxes your top line income and would have killed blue collar business owners (easy way to take plumbers into the 250k tax bracket, btw) and Illinois Senator Obama is still not on record saying anything about it (unless someone can find it).

Thanks for the quick response Richard,I've actually been renting the place out for a couple years now and take full advantage off all my write-offs on my income tax.I just recently got a letter from the city that was titled "Notice of Possible Violation"...It's a notification that they are proposing a supplement to the city Rental Housing Provisions.

When in fact, Obama is the only candidate who has proposed anything even remotely resembling a draft.But, the point is.

Will a bank even consider a business proposal to try to get a small business loan to cover the entire cost of the house..

Does the current floor plan, layout or design of your home allow for a smooth flowing traffic pattern in, out and through the proposed addition?

To get a deal, the developer needs to hook up with a non-profit hosuing agency, PHAs are prime targets to partner with, the proposal goes to the state level and comes back to go for approaval by the loacal PHAs, to show that a need exists and the city council, county commission must sign off as well.

Key Key Key is Zoning and approval of proposed use.
