I think your time counts as tithing.

Protect yourself - especially if you're in a business where you're likely to piss people off....or if you have banana trees in your back yard, or if you go to Wendy's for lunch, or if you go to the gas station, or stay in a motel, etc, etc, etc.When seconds count, the police are only minutes away!

Just very frustrating because I pretty much spent 7 hours (counting sitting in traffic) on this and I know there is going to be something else she is going to "try to fix" and then end up breaking.

If you mean Red Rocks, that doesn't really count because that's mostly commuter students.

Hi, not counting the earnest money deposit, and i guess you could borrow that, it's very possible, if you have assets and the abilty to pay.

There's some extras to it too - they put an addition onto it, which could count as a separate living area, were it not for zoning laws.

You have to define what we are talking about here.Average that I see is 30% Operating and Expenses,10% property management,10% vacancy.Every building is different and has it's own set of challenges.If someone self manages they can claim lower operating expenses with no management costs.Although the landlord does use up their time and energy which should have a monetary value to it.I tell landlords when I list their property that we have to count a property management fee in the numbers.If not a majority of the buyers will not be self managing and the numbers won't make sense to them.Otherwise we will be looking to sell to a small group who self manages.It depends on the size of the building as well.Many small buildings like a duplex or quad is self managed.Most larger buildings are not but there are a few.If you go over 50 units you can easily get a 5% property management fee but vacancy can generally run higher at 15% and with 30% O and E still puts you at 50%.I do see some buildings running at 60%.It's because the owners are underwater on the loans and have not maintained the property.They keep having to do patchwork repairs to get by and have high tenant turnover with rekey and reconditioning unit expenses which drives O and E above the 30% mark.If you factor rehab and going in and making changes and charging a slightly lower rent you can decrease tenant turnover and cute repairs to bring inline with the 50% total costs.You just have to look at what you can do with the property.The 50% is only a starting point.

This is hany because (my understanding) is that schedule E RE income doesn't always count as "earned" income for the purpose of IRA contributions.

When people are driving buy LESS IS MORE.You have 8 words "Fast cash 4 your house any condition,situation".Better 3 words "we buy houses".It might just be me but when I hear fast cash I think low ball offer and wouldn't even call you.Another item is your sign is straight instead of angled.Angled the drivers tend to notice it more and read it easier.The triangle signs I use for commercial real estate.Angled they can see from a distance which gives them more time to read.Other problem is your sign is not on a corner,traffic light,or stop sign or major entrance way.What's the traffic count and speed limit on the road.A high speed limit they will pass by fast and not even see it.Not sold on the red and white.

Finishing school is very important though as most of our society is brainwashed into thinking IQ actually counts for something.If you truly want to learn a lot, go to as many free seminars you can in your area and also read as much as you can on the forums
