In any case, this is a classic example of hearing it on a podcast or at a seminar doesn't necessarily translate to an idea working in real life (or shall I say real estate life).Hope things worked out for you, Jon.

I'm disappointed with the content. 85 % of the course is focused towards "Mindset" which basically is just telling you to think "positive and take action" which pretty much translates into "become a FB member and pay us the 30K".

Because of these things I think property that is already leased out  on long term retail lease are good deal.Also I like that by taking bigger loan (70%/80%)  we are leveraging the capital, which should translate to much higher return.Now, I am not sure what type of books I should be reading to be better at what I intend to do.

Google translator and our ability to read and write Kanji, recognize Hiragana, has helped us break through the communication gaps.We visited Japan just last year and fell in love with the country, the culture, and the glorious food.

So i did some due diligence and looked into it,and according for what i can understand( well you know reading laws requires beyond a college education to understand them some times), states in my translation that a licensed agent/brokers that hires a third party to get buyers/sellers is unlawful,but a private  transaction is not unlawful unless a third party such as wholesaler may be considered as unlicensed brokerage.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Though they acknowledged it was their error they would not be reimbursing any of the thousands of dollars the housing authority had to pay in bank fees incurred after having to order duplicate copies of every deposit item for an entire fiscal year.She also acknowledged there was no warning or disclaimer on the QB update that money orders were not a viable payment option and as a result all previous and future money order data would be altered or deleted by the program during the software update.2.

If you want a practical translation I would say buy a quality property in a quality neighborhood you know and feel comfortable with and you will do good, both on CF and appreciation.

We will pull a permit do start construction with work we can do by right (I.e without variance) and then after that is issued we will apply for alteration to the permit for the 4th unit which will be denied and then kicked to zoning.

(a) A tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.

According to the bill they sent us, they've lowered almost $70k in value, which translates to about $2k saving on our property tax.
