Recently, the state of New York passed new legislation that is highly beneficial to tenants and some say is onerous to landlords.

Congress is also working on legislation that will omit the opportunity for your heirs to "stretch" the income out over their lifetimes (for inherited IRAs and 401K plans), so that reduces the value of leaving retirement funds behind.

I was thinking about using a 203K loan, but was uncertain about the underwriting guidelines for the 203K.- Do I qualify for 203K if I've already had a 3.5% FHA loan?

Mayor Ras Baraka is pushing for legislation that would allow the city access to a home without permission.

I'd like to see the complete language of the new legislation.

Clair with a steel seawall and boat launch - Have a plan in place to market to 55+ community - have my business plan - exit plan - total costs, etc, just need funding - I have 3 buyers waiting, but can't do anything if I am uncertain of the completion of the project.

So chasing some away who really do not deserve it is not in any of our best interests.Now, if this new member is an offender (repeat) of the forum rules or someone who has shown a consistant performance to promote rather than give first and create a name for themselves, then they should be told in no uncertain terms that we do not appreciate or tolerate such actions here.At least that is my take.

So I was reading this editorial piece in WSJ about how Texas is considering "loser pays" legislation, which will basically require a losing party in a lawsuit to pay the opponent's legal fees.

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

His contractors will also do the rehab work so I think I'm covered there.This still leaves me with a nice property in a bad neighborhood and an uncertain exit strategy.
