The best defense is to be extremely cognizant of which files we execute (especially those contained in untrusted or unsolicited email), ensure your system has all updates installed, and to generally treat the Internet as an untrusted medium.Hope that helps!

Here in Canada, if we just keep investing, then we don't have to pay any taxes, until a profitable sale - so we're curious about how the rental income is treated there?

@Ariana Belmonte This decision really depends on your needs and wants.From a investment point of view it would be wiser to purchase a house.Condo can have restrictions against leasing/subleasing and remolding.You may want to look into purchasing a multifamily and using a FHA loan with only 3.5% down, but you would have to list and treat this property as your primary residence and live in one of the units.

I mean, when companies treat their customers like that it usually doesn't work out very well.But Bill's comment makes a lot of sense, too.

This needs to be treated like an eviction.I went through one of these last year.

As in treating people fairly and kindly.

Investing in real estate is a financial decision and must be treated as such.

I'm all for treating great tenants great.

Many brokers try and treat loan trades like real property with some similar broker structure, that usually doesn't work because the fees don't fit into the deal.

My understanding is that it is a type of pooling of money and is usually treated like a security.
