There is bonus depreciation to consider for new cars or trucks.

And if you decide to join, please mention me so I can participate in the referral bonus plan (another awesome feature).

Banks are cutting down on cards but that's more aimed at those who chase bonuses and manufactured spend.

Nothing I say is "bonus".I constantly test and monitor.

I have always treated Appreciation as a bonus and never bought a deal in hopes of appreciation.

I also have a brother-in-law that worked on the casino in the accounting department, and he told me what they paid in taxes as well.

It’s taught me lots of skills that transfer to real estate, and provides performance bonuses that I can invest in deals.

But the broker would still be getting his flat compensation; ie that doesn't mean he gets a bonus or anything.

Make your house a 3 BR/1.5 bath home with a bonus game room, ping-pong table room, man-cave, theater room.....you get the idea.

I would not pull out if you would lose that much money. i dont know the Austin area but from what i have heard there are alot of tech companies. my bet is even if the markets go down Austin is going to be fine or atleast better then most. if you already have 30k, you can look at it as if you have 6% of the house price you can lose before you really lose anything(if you walk away you lose the 30k anyway). theres is also the bonus of having until 2023. if the market takes a hit you have time to make it back.
