Go looking to socialize, learn more and help someone who has a question YOU can answer. 

Well JoeYes I think we would do this one again But we would do it as a BRRRRIt was our first buy and I think that makes it more acceptable.  

If you are a sole proprietorship you get stuck with 15% social security/medicare on your net profits.

However, I told him the best I could do was $130,000 and he accepted.

In a Short Sale the Mortgage servicer wont pay to fix any repairs or damage but you can get them to lower there value and in result get them to accept a lower offer and net.It sounds like there is a lot of needed repairs and damage that could lower the servicers value if you obtain the right supporting documents.

Every social event becomes an opportunity to either meet a new client, or meet someone who may refer you to a new client.

The lesson learned is that its better to have a unit that is in need of repair rather than trying to repair it so it can be rented immediately upon close.I am trying for an escrow hold until the repairs are completed and also argued these are not structural repairs but I am doubtful these proposals will be acceptable.  

I hope the day comes that courts finally accept it as just us and nor a company full blown.Note: I hope your business savings account that is untouched is only for her and not co-mingled with any other funds.

It would be great to network and socialize with people from my area during and after the event. 

That is not acceptable."
