Obama is too much about compromise; he's working too hard to keep those on both sides of the aisle happy and doesn't recognize this is an impossible task; ultimately, he is just causing gridlock and wasted time, effort and money.Here's the problem I have (and I'd bet a lot of other people also have) -- I tend to be a lot more fiscally conservative than the current base of Democrats and a lot more socially liberal than the current base of Republicans, so people like me need to make a hard decision -- vote for the party that seems to not mind a growing deficit/debt (despite what they say) and is doing what I support socially, or vote for the party that seems to want to control the growing deficit/debt (despite what they actually vote for) and is clearly against what I support socially.It wouldn't be too hard for either side to sway people of my situation...here's all either party would need to do to sway enough moderate voters to easily win the White House:If the current crop of Bible-thumping Republicans would check their Conservative Cheat Sheets and remember that being Conservative means less government intervention in our lives, not creating more laws to force a single religion's morality on the country, I think a lot of people like me would be able to put the social issues on the back-burner long enough to at least listen to their fiscal plan and give them some consideration.And if the current crop of bleeding-heart Democrats would use their common sense to recognize that if you don't pass a budget for multiple years straight, fiscal responsibility probably isn't high on your To-Do List.

After a few years of being around this stuff, one gets desensitized to the threats and recognizes that what sometimes seems like bad news can be good.

Most flippers do not become Brokers because they recognize the liability after serving 3 years as an agent.

My CitiBank credit card download it's not being recognized by QB (and support could not figure out why).

You are the one signing in all three places, so if you are cool with it.....I myself would be concerned about the SC DOR putting two and two together and recognizing that a homestead exemption is being claimed on a home that is being rented/depreciated.

He recognizes & acknowledges who has the power, learns the hot buttons, gets in harmony with the horse & simply guides & encourages - nothing more.That is the job, guide & encourage the client & remove your selfish need to be recognized as a hero of sorts or you must win because in the end, your interests have zero value.Where negotiations breakdown is when you the negotiator starts injecting ego & other insecurity emotions, which creates resistance. 

I also recognize I will be 100% financing the deal thus take 100% of the financial risk.

I agree with @Jerry Padilla that some zip codes are definitely more desirable than others (and the definition of 'desirability' varies from investor to investor for multiple reasons), so make sure you know where you are investing and recognize the different returns you can anticipate based on these areas.  

I recognize the vast difference insurance costs between property types and location.

You'd have to recognize 1250 gain of course but you wouldn't have to prorate for NQU.Moving back into a property that has been a rental blows the exception.
