Technically I won a bet... but you and the Red Cross are the ones that benefit from my victory :)

So technically if the tenant paid it, you're responsible for giving them back.

Having a rigorous technical degree from a 4 year university is a very strong hedge against your other investments.Getting a full scholarship for maintaining a minimum very B average (hopefully you are doing better than that) is a gift from heaven that you should get down on your knees and be thankful for every half hour that passes.There are other intangeable benefits to a college degree that cannot be realized in any other way than getting a college degree.Most people do not quit their jobs to invest in RE full time.

There is a communication issue that arises from NPN discussions, the percent baseline is usually a function of the FMV, but technically that is moving target.

If you're going to college and not making mostly A's and a few B's, you're wasting your time and money.Another alternative is technical school.

I am confused on whether or not the Protecting Tenants in Foreclosure Act of 2009 still pertains to this property since it technically isn't a foreclosure anymore?

But technical studies withstanding, it was the literature and arts classes that really helped me to grow intellectually and that has allowed me to have a better quality of life, if only in my mind....

I'm digging into technical territory on that and didn't take notes from my conversation with the attorney, but suffice it to say that it can't be gifted at the end.

It's not just dry RE Law books or books on surveying, but all kinds, likely they have some of the "investor" books (I know I saw some) as well as technical references.I was just thinking.....If you all, (enough people) would be interested I'll check them out from the BoR, read through them and give you a short version of recommendations, a synopsis, opinion but no endorsements as such.

Well, I did not use an accountant and I didn't keep up with the cash expenses well because I thought it would be my personal residence so I would be exempt from the cap gains anyway.I didn't repay it the first year as it was still technically my primary residence (I was living out of town in a hotel, so this house was more of a permanent residence for me than anywhere else, even if I wasn't fully moved in).
