Hoping to irritate you enough that you will settle out of court for a few thousand dollars to make her go away.

It sold today [in 1853] for sixty thousand.'”http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/13/san-francisco-...It is really interesting to see the historical surge and retreat of real estate prices has been with San Francisco nearly as long as the tides.

No passport check means, I assume, that you're not doing I9's... which means that you're not doing W2's... which means that you're probably not doing W9's either.Better hope that nobody who works for you and happens to be legal decides that you need to pay him a few thousand dollars so he doesn't report you to the IRS, INS, and DOL.

Consider the liabilities that you are accepting as his employer..... driving around while on the clock, drunk, hits somebody...... gets hurt on the job, giant increase in WC premium for a long, long, long time...... damages products or materials during installation, guess who gets to pay for them and can't deduct them legally from his pay check...... you run out of work, he collects unemployment...These may be worst case situations, but they still exist and lets not forget incentives to being productive... hourly employees have little financial incentive to being productive, it basically comes down to a combination of a mixture fear of losing a job, how much they can get away with and of course their work ethic.What all this means is that unless there is huge gain for you somewhere beyond just a couple of thousand dollars over a year there is no way you will offset these issues, there would need to be some very large gains, possibly non-financial to warrant hiring this guy versus paying him as a 1099.

There are 191 utility grade solar farms in NC... not sure if 2016 will see an end to them as federal tax credits drop to 10%, but for thousands of people, the NC power plant build-out has been a nice economic boost.

Churches, alumni, fraternal & social work agencies, or organizations typically, along with thousands of arts, education, cultural & industry specific associations make a lot of effort to donate, or subsidize housing---in particular. if your mortgage is $ 300K at 6% apr using $ 2,500 a month in the first few years nearly $ 18K will be deductible. if you're renting to some tenants certain programs will filter far more inducements to both you and the tenant. obviously there are reasons that you'd most likely want to own units that cost $ 60K and rent for $ 1,500 a month to make even more sense out of these opportunities. when i was 23 my best friend a newly mented attorney, who lived with me pursued buying a 2 family home that the City of NY's Housing Development Preservation (HPD) offered us for $ 1. it needed about $ 150K of improvements. we were supposed to borrow the $ 150K at 1% interest under a very aggressive renovation schedule that returned the property to it's fully taxed  assessed value in 90 to 120 days; or we'd have to pay 2% apr for the sums we elected to borrow from an HPD aligned lender. my income was 3 times the lawyers; and i wanted him to live in another 26 unit apartment building we were developing under an even more lucrative program that allowed us to borrow $ 500K at 1%, if we ("I") put down $ 25K. i wound up renovating the apartment building on my credit cards and we walked away from the 2 family: due to the lawyer's reluctance to move into the apartment building. i actually felt that having him in my own apartment really confused the women that visited me.

Community - The Forums are the heart and soul of BP, where thousands of investors hang out and talk.

During the crash, there were thousands of REOs sold at an artificially low price because banks wanted cash and there were relatively few cash buyers.

It teaches you the tricks of leverage and saved me THOUSANDS when I was fixing my credit.
