@Bill Walston is the tax expert for sure.All I do are assignments, and I pay a 13% SE tax because apparently tehre are some people that refuse to buy health care...not sure how that's realated to my business..but...

Transportation is often an issue, how people get to work or to health care may need to be addressed.In any community of any size, you'll usually have many of these services available.

I am a handy guy, and used to do some exterior construction (fences, irrigation, arbors etc) but nothing interior short of repairing stuff at my house.

It's the beliefs of the Catholic Church and other faith based organizations, that are vehemently opposed to abortion and birth control, and have hospitals that are operated as non profit organizations, and should not have to sacrifice their beliefs in order to comply with the healthcare bill.

There are times that we do take out loans for larger projects or bring in partners for projects, but even then do our best to keep it under 10%.I see some big changes that will be coming after the next election and I don't want to hit bottom.Our current president got voted for by some because they would get a free cell phone, they would no longer have to pay for gas, they would get free health care, and so on.

Health care benefits, keep funding your 401k, use their phone, fax and copier when you can!

Well... my background is mainly in the healthcare industry... mostly on the Business Side of it.... but I really have been looking for a change of pace.... there is a lot of opportunity and money in RE which has really caught my attention...

(I'm so sick of painting....)Exterior: Added shutters and headers on all doors/windowsNew cedar fence (surrounds property - put cute white picket with arbors in front!)

I live in canada so I have free health care (you get what you pay for).
