The property is currently rented by family (that are truly treated like tenants, except Sunday between 1-3 dinners).

You don't close, me and you are taking a ride out into the desert and you're not making it home in time for dinner...

Michele Roseland Welcome, we just went to Madison for dinner last night.

If there are any active Illinois Tax lien investors around the St Louis area, I would be happy to buy them a nice dinner in exchange for allowing my to pick their brain!

I can deduct for expenses such as home office, car/mileage, cell phone, internet expense, dinners, etc.

I'm not sure I would bring that up too abruptly at dinner, but use that to put things in perspective.

Rich vs. wealthGreat topic.From what I read here today I think everyone is correct.My thoughts on this is as follows: I do not want to be rich or wealthy I would rather be comfortable.By comfortable I mean having enough to pay my monthly bills, cover medical emergencies , and still put a little money away. if We want to go out to dinner we go.

Hold on...going to check on my dinner, then will look this up.

There is no value there to cover the second position mortgage except possibly a small amount.The refinancing took place in the middle of March 2013 and I received a call from Nationstar while I was out to dinner one night in May that I had two hours to pay the mortgage.
