(Unless you flip homes for a living)Pending Home Sales Slump As NAR Warns "Activity Has Essentially Stalled"New Home Sales rose in May, Existing Home Sales dropped in May, and today we find out that Pending Home Sales also tumbled in May... so that's 2 down, 1 up - not good (especially as mortgage apps are tumbling in June)This is the second monthly decline in a row, but Pending home sales are down 2.2% YoY - the 5th straight month of annual sales declines.Home sales fell for the year in all regions YoY, but the decline in the last month was concentrated in the South, while the other three regions reported MoM increases.

While it is possible to have all moneys in one company and split it into two buckets for tax preparation - it's much easier to do when they are already naturally separated between two LLCs.2.

Getting a crappy health insurance plan, or underpaying your income taxes, to increase your "net" income on each pay-check isn't actually a pay raise, since when you get sick now your deductible just tripled, and your April income tax bill went up as well!

I believe you made the right choice by giving them back atleast something so they wouldn't feel too bad. when it comes to newly mothers having premature labor, they can tie it to the chemicals from the pest control, unless you are using eco friendly 100% natural product, either way it can fall back on you.

Additional increases will be required if extensive repairs are required by the Health Department.

With moderate increases this year, we’ll be at a positive cash flow of over $2,000/month ([$3,500 income - $1,500 mortgage] - Taking into account Cap-X, vacancy, etc. and cash flow is still over $1,500 which meets our goal of $500/door).Fitting that its in the "Milk District", because its certainly a cash cow for us!

The key is to find a niche, like near that gun range, and to provide a "wow factor", like an in ground pool, game room, near a park, a natural preserve, etc.

It hasn't sold yet, but for the sake of this post, let's just say it will sell for $185k.It is now roughly 9 months after purchase and I have increased the value of the home from $115k to $185k.

So first 4 family property owner here. I purchased last month and just got my first electric and gas bill. Let's just say wallet shock doesnt cover it. To break down the tldr, apparently I used 23.59 in gas last month...
