As the cash flow is obviously much worse than you can earn in the bank with a basic CD.

My oldest graduated from BSU (engineering) and has a stellar career, and my youngest went grade 7 - 12 here in Idaho so he got the full experience of what it's like to grow up in this great state. 

Both said the same thing to me (so I know a problem is brewing): "Nobody is allowed under the law to assist a seller in any way, while earning a  fee, commission, or profit from selling someone else's property without a license.

Sure, some voucher recipients game the system (years ago, I had a tenant who knew exactly how many hours she could work and how much income she could earn to remain on the program).

Part of those cuts included the short-term rental tax loophole, a strategy real estate investors can use to help mitigate their rental income tax by offsetting earned income with real estate losses, and could be renewed or extended.  

That depends, but you can see from a bunch of posts on here that so far you're getting shafted performance-wise because a bunch of people aren't getting any dividends during a time when they could easily be earning 4-5% or more in a basic bank CD.
