It has a price adjustment table in the back of the book to adjust for your area because New York would be different than Detroit for example.

Link below shows some tables with various rates; I always budget around $300 annually and that comes fairly close.http://www.umtownship.org/DocumentCenter/View/3778But Philadelphia also charges for trash hauling on rental properties that have more than one rental unit; it's not always "free" as Paulette's post might imply.Let's summarize the annual King of Prussia numbers: $0 for earned income tax, $52 for occupation privilege tax, $3515 for property taxes, $300 for trash - less than $4000 total.

That group has about 50 people that meet monthly at Palms Restaurant in PetalumaThere is another group - Santa Rosa Women Real Estate Investors  - we meet monthly at Round Table on Marlow in Santa RosaThere is a third group that I don't go to as often, but it is extremely educational and worth the drive to Corte Madera - Its called BAWBCheck them out and you might enjoy going to one or all meetingsCheryl

Ask yourself what are you bringing to the table?

I have encountered some that are very knowledgeable and are an integral part of putting a deal together and getting it to the closing table.

I'll ride the wave in my business and RE developments then retire up into the mountains. 

Its a common issue we run into a lot where a client got a bunch of money from a relative before speaking to us about how to properly source it, or maybe they just got married and deposited all of their wedding money, or maybe they sold their car for cash to a buddy and did it all under the table so they dont pay any taxes on it, etc. 

If you went into a restaurant and were told there was a half hour wait but you saw empty tables would you seat yourself?  

This paired with the losses the town is facing, I am thinking I am better off leaving my earnest money on the table and walking away. 

I have many times seen deals where an agent tells their buying client, you need to beat this dollar amount to win the bid, but never have I seen a deal where they have allowed a seller to leave money on the table.
