@Joshua, I use Credit Technologies.

I have no accounting skills, suck at math, and am in general not a very smart person so I figured it would be good to post this and see what others think.

I'm no lawyer and I'm not very smart, so I hire people to advise me.

I recently had a discussion with a friend, a friend who is very successful in his corporate job, a friend who is very smart and business savvy.

I use the Kwikset "smart key" and can re-key a house in a few minutes.I would try to give them a 'good deal' on fixing the damage, this time,,,but make sure they know going forward they have to pay for the damage and it will be repaired by your contractor.Someone kicking in a door is obviously trying to gain entry into a house they aren't suppose to,,tell them you expect them to file a police report if it happens again.

It is essential for smart note investing.

Typically good deals are lapped up by smart investors who put bigger money.

I think it's smart to be aggressive on the depreciation number since according to NOLO: the penalty may be imposed only if you overstated the value of your depreciable property by at least 200% over the correct amount and the overstatement resulted in an underpayment of tax of at least $5,000.So basically there is a lot of wiggle room and the IRS knows that.

My Background is mainly in technology and I am thinking of pursuing real estate in one aspect or another full time.

Use the time that you have between now and being debt free to practice and get smart.
