If I had hired a landscape company to come and mow my lawn (maintenance), prune one tree (maintenance) and plant some shrubs (improvement) and the invoice is $750 then I cannot use the De Minimis Safe Harbor as the invoice is in excess of $500 but if I had asked for an itemized breakdown of individual items on that single invoice, I could as long as each item is under $500? 

Now I haven't done any REI as I am still in the stage of soaking up as much knowledge as I can.

Me and my partner are in negotiation stages on acquiring a couple large parcels of land in 85009 zip code. 

Basically taught my wife and I tons assigned us to a area in our stage of MA and gave us a platform with access to a ton of leads.  

Foreclosed properties go through three stages: pre-foreclosure, the auction, and REO.

I am out in California at the moment taking care of mom who is fighting Lung Cancer and dad who is in the final stages of Alzheimers, therefore, my posting time is limited.

These are times when there's an excess of decent renters in the market.

I know I'm being grumpy, but I would sincerely like to see you succeed, and I think it is useful for you to know, so here goes.I am not your sister.My first reaction to you is to be offended by your excessive familiarity and friendliness which to appears to be phony and aimed only at softening me up to take advanatge of me.I hope that was not your intention, but if you want to make any success at any sort of investing, you need to consider being more honest and work at sounding less like a con man.

Having fun watching Josh on stage with some great bloggers at Blog World Expo in Los Angeles.

The excess goes to the borrower.
