I see taxes as a HUGE potential drain on yield/wealth, and I think reducing Uncle Sam's take should be a priority when considering investment strategies.

My aunt and uncle are elderly, and have reached the point of requiring 24hr in-home care.  

Hey @Roger Covin,I went to high school in Arlington, so just thought I would say hi!

Maybe partner with the seller next time or just buy sub2 if it's a low equity house.No way I'd pay closing costs twice, then a realtor, then Uncle Sam.  

A father and son, cousin, uncle, brother, in-law, neighbor. 

It could be in some of their client's best interest to sell a property to pay off Uncle Sam, etc. 

The other day my uncle received a $1 bill in the mail from someone offering to buy his house --- I bet they used your Property Search feature to find him (100% equity, in a very desirable market of California, purchased back in the 80's).
