This deal was a huge pain and included me living for months in a literal construction zone, covering and uncovering my "furniture" (my bed and clothes on top by bed) whenever I left or returned to the house every day as well as cooking and eating all my meals at my work.

I'm simply an administrator of my business, and have been advised it would be acceptable to salary myself just over 2% of my business' net income and draw distributions for other necessary expenses.

even though its BP blasphemy to have cash tied up.. its just too painful.  

It would be a real pain to have 20 different bank accounts.

It is a real pain when you have to keep telling everyone you call how to spell the name.Consider getting a URL.

Pain in the you know what?

The prime rate reached 21.5%.The Volcker program triggered a sharp recession from January 1980, five months after he arrived, to July 1980, and then a very deep and painful recession from July 1981 to November 1982—“double dip recessions.”

I lent money to the corp. to buy those houses and the corp. is supposed to reimburse me 5% of what I lended every year (to get my money back in 20 years if I am still alive...).The problem is that the corp. is of course unable to give me back money for now ; it’s not that much for me but it is for my children who carry that debt (declared to the french tax administration).

When you hire an architect be sure that you have them under contract for construction administration.
