Along with bonding, E&O insurance, Individual dual signatory accounts and they should be members of the FEA and BBB.We have gone over and over the 45 day rule and still can't find any purpose in it.

The fees follow the rules and regulations for real estate (Federal and State level).There is nothing magic about an REO deal.

Just offering an opposing viewpoint.My husband and I are both Realtors and a team.We both "share" the non-gendered identity of Malok for internet purposes.I do agree though, that if someone wanted to actually conduct a transaction with another person in this forum, they would provide their relevant information in some form or fashion.

Some use a rule of thumb saying that if rates drop by 1% you can afford to refi.Better is to do the math.

Just my opinion.Do check the local regulations to make sure that you are complying with the rules and regulations for the area.

There are no rules against Doin' It Yourself.Once again,You Don't Give Them Anything!!!

And when the housing market turns around, the value of my properties will improve dramatically, so I want to buy while the market is bad.There are exceptions to every rule, of course, and we haven't bottomed, but in twenty years I think that buy-and-holders who took advantage of this environment will be glad they did....

I see from another post of yours that you haven't yet read our rules.

It is separately metered for utilities.Someone said I lucked into this deal, but they were not around for the three months of research I did, and the other chances I turned down that were just a little out of the formula.Mike OH has been an inspiration with his 50% rule and tough financing stance.Thanks again.

You earned nothing and have nothing to deduct.You might have had expenses (driving around, fees already paid and not recoverable) that can be deducted.The simple version of the rule is money actually spent on business activities might be something you can deduct.
