It is a awesome city with great schools, award winning parks and a downtown area that we are really proud of. 

Bidding war we went full price and was awarded the sale. $219k.

The property was foreclosed on and the bank received the judgement awarding possession previously.

I just received an email that I was granted another award, and I guess it shows up on my profile, but does it have any value besides knowing that someone is an active member of BP?

They must pay income tax as they earn or receive income during the year.Estimated taxes – If the amount of income tax withheld from a taxpayer’s salary or pension is not enough, or if the taxpayer receives income such as interest, dividends, alimony, self-employment income, capital gains, prizes and awards, they may have to make estimated tax payments.Self-employment tax – This is a Social Security and Medicare tax.

After that I rolled over my 401Ks (I’m very grateful to my ex for investing the maximum the whole time he was working, and to divorce law for awarding me half), invested aggressively, and did very well in the long bull market of the last five years.

haha... think Barclay's Center, which hosts the MTV awards, Williamsburg which is the Mecca of Hipsters before much of other Cities became well known as Hipster havens, tons of Celeberties live here, etc.Basically, Brooklyn had benefitted from the Maturing of Manhattan which became a place of the super wealthy.

The courts also shy away from awarding specific performance in the instance of real estate disputes.  

I've heard stories of landlords keeping deposits to cover real and actual expenses related to damages and/or a tenant breaking a lease and a judge not agreeing with that use of the deposit and awarding damages to the tenant.

A lawyer can access public records , If and when you get sued , and you have no insurance and the judge awards the tenant $ 1.5 million dollars .
