As a tax professional, I am really curious to see how the reform all shakes out.

If the city just outright charged a fee and didn't provide a service (kinda like how lakewood shakes you down for a rental license every year and returns nothing for it) then I'd say it was bad.

(BTW, never shake your Polyshades can or you get heinous bubbles in your surface.

I've done remodels that look great today, but I know if I went back five years from now, I might be shaking my head.  

I'd say you're all right.I do think Kiyosaki's statement of "your home is a liability" is a good way to shake average people out of their complacency of thinking "I'll be OK financially in the future because my house is rising in value."

As a resident of a Detroit Suburb (Plymouth), I just shake my head and wonder why people wouldn't just get the actual facts instead of just repeating what they hear (select hearing).  

My goal this year is to add another another income stream in a different business, currently at "shaking out the couch cushions for money" stage.

You're right, everything else will kind of shake out once the bank accepts or rejects.

You can do that a lot of ways: You can call each tenant, send an email, send a paper letter, go door-to-door and shake hands.

I am literally shaking and I can't sleep.
