So, you'd want to go into it knowing you were going to: go all out to beat your competition, have a distinctive property, stand out online, and have your return compensate you for the headache of running a little hospitality business.Does that help? 

I used it and am well satisfied.previously, my will/trust was done by an estate attorney who charged me about $2,500.  10 years later circumstances have changed quite a bit and same attorney quoted $8,000.  

Hello Everyone,I’ve been a member for a while, but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to take a break from my real estate endeavors.

Hire the very best people you can to advise you based on your exact situation and circumstances and then let them help you implement a solid tax strategy that makes sense for you.Regardless of your position and role, this is without a doubt one of the highest leverage activities that you can do.Remember, it's not just about what you make, it's about what you keep in the end that matters most.

Everyone's circumstances are different, so maybe it makes sense for you to borrow against the 401k, but I just think it is important that folks are fully educated on all factors before making that decision. 

Back then when we “flipped” a contract to an end buyer and hence didn’t complete the purchase ourselves, it was the result of an opportune circumstance rather than a defined strategy; we negotiated an offer fully expecting to complete the purchase ourselves (unless something negative was discovered).

so that makes the distinction as follows:-is "it" a good time to buy real estate? 

But you could see the distinct advantage I had it was huge.I feel sorry for folks doing this in PA and other states that are so antiquated..  

It's tough when unexpected costs pop up, but those experiences definitely make us sharper for the next deal.Switching gears from renting to selling was a smart move given the circumstances.
