This nominal return does not take into account the tax refund at the end of the year or the equity return from the mortgage payment.

YESDodd Frank is meant to safeguard peoples personal residence...You only need to use it if your buyer is using it as their personal residence...If your selling to an investor no worries...The easiest and safest way to protect yourself it is to use a Mortgage Loan Originator in all your deals..For a nominal fee they make sure your deals comply with the law.As an investor you can sell i.e. finance three properties without Dodd Frank worries...

I believe I know why they are doing it.One of the greatest frustrations with free rental websites is zombie listings: The landlord has already filled the vacancy, but because posting is free, they never bother to take down the ad.By charging a nominal weekly fee, Zillow recruits landlords to help maintain a very large and constantly changing rental database.I'm not mad at them.
