I particularly appreciate @Natalie Kolodij ‘s reminder that the IRS is likely to use a totality of the circumstances test, and also appreciate @Eamonn McElroy ‘s reminder that the tax doctrine of “Constructive Receipt” might be applied.

You think your getting a deal when in reality sometimes your getting a headache with all the repairs that’s needed and city violations which by the way as a reminder.....Chicago is very annoying to deal with.

Regarding the cost of the conference, travel and hotel, just a reminder to all the landlords out there to remember to consult accountsnt and log those tax deductions!

This valuable forum post has reminded me of a passage from Conrad Hilton's great little autobiography, Be My Guest:<<Instead of Dartmouth, I now entered the New Mexico School of Mines...what I learned at Socorro has been invaluable to me.

impressive either way.this reminds me of a time years ago.. during the first real run up.. mid 80s on the west coast.. 

@Ozzy Scrims yeah I've heard of homepath, but thanks for the reminder.

My tenants paid on the third after a friendly reminder.

I could tap into my 401k and pay the reminder back tax free.

This reminds me of a great quote: 'price is what you pay, value is what you get'.

This reminds me of an episode of the office where Michael scott is trying to explain how his "calling card" business isnt a pyramid scheme, as Jim is building a Pyramid behind him....Some people make good money in MLM, but most do not.
