I currently have my office at home and i feel that this is limiting my capabilities.

I agree that the value doesn't appear to be there when silver was at $7 just 10 years ago, but it's also difficult to ignore the spending by the administration and the answer to the American and European debt appears to be print more or raise revenue, instead of cutting spending.

Get familiar with the county clerk (recorders) office.

Start from the county recorder's office, in this case I used Cook county, IL.

As everyone in the real estate business knows (whether agent, lender, mortgage loan officer) you don't get paid until the deal gets done.

Yes, the HARP program only allows refi of the 1st, and supposedly getting the lienholder to subordinate isn't a big deal according to my loan officer.

I have a full time CPA in my office as well as a well paid firm who oversees him.

Taxes are $9,000 based on county appraiser's office (if it matters the county appraiser lists the property at $340,000 -- with land being $175,000 of that number).The area is a great area.

I have a commercial office space shared by 3 tenants who are all on the lease.

I'm presently an engineer by day and landlord of a SFH, mixed use condo and light office.
