My current program allows for more options, and one of them is simply negotiating the deal and collecting a fee.

I'm in the process right now, actually. very difficult because they've been citing the current lease when the terms serve them, and ignoring it when they don't.Quick synopsis - doing a lead paint removal program with HUD that imposes rent restrictions so I have to cut their rent by $200/month.

Public service should be an OBLIGATION but not a CAREER.

The crowd has died down and the programs are not put together very well.

I checked the public records and the previous owner owes $519K in loans!

The IRS has a publication on Depreciation with a table that will tell you how to compute your first year depreciation based on the month you place the rental into service.

If you are real estate agent broker or company we have incentive programs for referrals.

My thoughts on how we let the whole thing happen goes back the conception of the federal reserve system by a group of competing bankers in secrecy (all public data now).

Regrouped again, and now we have all of these programs slowing down the free market system.

Before the foreclosure bubble exploded, my network of mortgage/real estate friends were noticing that lenders were not filing/reporting NOD's so as not to impact their reserve requirements negatively, which concealed the extent of the problem from the public for some time.
