You can be SURE I didn't forget Capital Gains Tax :D I was mainly going for listing the ones that were "hidden" (taken from pay / included in other payments) to make the point.Originally posted by "ncarey":People think they are in the 25 or 36% tax bracket when in reality they pay much more in taxes.

Hello Everyone,My name is Kevin I am 25 years old and live in Portland Maine.

There are risks that don’t occur with a retail purchase, mainly in access for determining the true condition of the property (and therefore setting your make ready budget).

Just remember that the "gurus" main purpose is to upsell you to a more expensive product and you will therefore only read the positive side of the business.
