You can't combine your hours and your wife's.

Seems that every combination of the words investments, real estate, property and such are taken....

Don't know why they didnt combine liens at the auction and get full amount back.

You need a lease and an option contract.You can combine the 2 and make it a powerful strategy.

thank you Sonny,that is something we will surely look into. if we could reduce our payments just long enough to sell our properties, we would be okay, i think.it's looking like we wii try to sell both, as long as we can capture $40 grand out of the combined equities and buy something cheap for now.

You (two) will be able to use that if 1) you actually have passive losses on the rentals, and 2) your AGI (for the combined, married filing jointly return) is under $100K.

Use free services on the net like Zillow, Trulia etc.Or a combination of all of the above.

Combine the old tradition with new green technology.

I may end up doing kind of a combination, with some xeriscaping in the old beds and then grass in between.

Yes always keep the option and the lease contracts separate never combine them otherwise it will bite you in the butt if you ever go to court.
