Please enlighten me if anyone knows of such a rule.

Thank GOD for all of the enlightened viewpoints here!

But because those shows are produced in Canada, and most places they show may be in Canada, too, I was wondering if any Canadian LL/tenant here can enlighten me if that is standard practice "across the border".

Enlighten wanna-be's as to how to tell the difference between the sand and the water.Like I said, I hadn't really considered creating my own course, but if I ever do, I will send all of you folks a free copy to you can critique it for me and tell me when I have run off on a tangent :)JM

J ScottI want this to be an interesting and enlightened DISCUSSION, not a debate or argument.I have always understood Capital Expenses to NOT be in the 50% expense category.

How about enlightening us all about these facts?

Also someone pulling deals of craigslist i.e. actually buying property at a discount...enlightenment please lol.

You will need to bring money/access to money, or a heightened knowledge base in order for them to compensate you for anything though.Stay on top of BP forums and get involved in the conversation.

The most I've seen is what BIll referenced with American Land Title Association's (ALTA) recommended "Standard Procedures", which stipulates that the buyer's lender be fully aware of the transaction before moving forward.Not to say that there aren't laws, regulations, or organizations out there in some state that do ban, prohibit, or regulate them by statutes or by something more than just recommended procedures, but I have yet to find a single one.Will, please enlighten me if you can.

Reading through the posts here yesterday was very enlightening.
