i guess the way i view land trust's is that it is an excellent benefit for person who wants to purchase, but can't right now in the traditional way.they get to work on strengthening their credit, plus they get the write offs. it would seem to make the chances better that they will perform with the eventual outright purchase, versus a straight lease option.i haven't done one yet, but i just closed on a deal where i am going to set one up. so, until i've actually set one up and than closed on the sale, i won't know for sure. jim

Louisiana Representative Jim McCrery said the provision could hurt housing markets in coastal communities.Tightens QualificationThe realtors association told lawmakers in a letter last week that the vacation-home provision ``does not eliminate any tax benefit but rather tightens the requirement'' for qualifying for the exclusion from capital-gains taxation on the sale of a home.U.S. law generally allows married homeowners to exclude as much as $500,000 in profit on the sale of a second home, provided the owners have lived in it for at least two out of the previous five years.

But if you ever need motivation look for Jim Rohn.

Any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated.Thanks,Jim
