I have spent a good portion of my adult career as an employee of a well known Company as a Senior Revenue Manager.

You moved into a rentabe aprtment and the apartment is no longer in rentable condition.I suspect that you had permission to have the adult dog and then snuck the puppy in.

The mileage allowance is lower than the cost of OPERATING a vehicle, so real "business people" don't automatically get a Benz or Beemer to drive around looking at property.Meals and entertainment-you only get to write off 1/2 on these but you shouldn't be eating at "Chez Expensive" when working on flips anyway.I'm sure that "some" people might accidently buy something for their residence and have the receipt fall into the folder for one of their flips.

The real estate deals analysis here on BP are not nearly as "entertaining" a read, as they were a few years ago.

I sent a letter to the address basically saying I might be interested if you would entertain selling and I may be able to make it well worth your while.

It is a bit like eviction court in that it can be quite entertaining.

Can't Countrywide just collect from the insurance company instead of entertaining a short sale arrangement?

They trust the entertainers of MSNBC to do that for them.

Included in the financing would be land - water sources - mobile homes - sheds - decks & a cash cow of rental income with very low expense ratio to income - a small all adult mobile home with never a vacancy, & most of the rental income comes from Uncle Sam.Also when selling something such as this - what is the best way to weed out the tire kickers?
