@Raman Bindlish  Instead of intermediary credit agencies that only report summary information, get direct access to one of the principle credit reporting agencies from which all others derive their summaries. 

It grows when you start to derive revenue from that building and revenue comes from tenants.My tenants have paid down hundreds of thousands of dollars of principal in the last 10 years and I personally haven't paid down a single penny.

Think of Zillow as window shopping but your not going to derive any meaningful property value from that site. 

The main impediment (that no one has mentioned) is that politicians derive their power from the tax code itself by means of being able to take from one group and give to another.

Higher prices for food, energy, and all their derivatives, which depresses the amount of income available to be spent for discretionary items and surely depresses the amount of borrowers available to buy a house.

The best results or opinions are derived from specialists.

a reasonable after expense net should be 1% a month, or 12% a year after tax considerations. a property management team with depth in that arena is just as essential as a co-venturing partner that may position you to derive that 12% yield on a fully passive basis.

The Seller, through the Buyer, will pay a locator, referral and/or contact fee to the Consultant for the Services equivalent to $______________ (_______%) of the total proceeds derived from the sale and/or purchase of the certain property located, referred and/or contacted as requested by Seller and/or Buyer, or a flat fee in the amount of $_______________ for services as described in Paragraph 1 above.

Anywhere you own property or conduct any type of business or derive any income from the state you need to file a certificate of authority or register as a foreign entity and pay taxes to the extent required by that state.

The point is, no one in 2008-2010 would buy these portfolios anymore so by Mark to Market accounting these 1 trillion dollar portfolio derivative securities were worth nothing or pennies on the dollar even though they were still generating a massive return regardless of how many foreclosures were going on.This plus so many practices are not happening anymore so even though the rates might go up, money might dry up, and the real estate market might take a downturn or level off, there will not be the cataclysmic fall out that you saw in 2008.
