Let me get the smudges off my crystal ball from the last time I used it in 2015 and bought bitcoin before it jumped in value.When predicting which real estate market will increase in value to the greatest degree in 2016, it is imperative to look at certain factors that contribute to an increase in overall demand.

If it is determined that your silent partner does have an ownership interest in the property for income tax purposes, it may or may not be possible to exchange into their property depending on a number of factors.

If you have a rate of 5% right now and can drop to 4% with $5,000 in closing costs, then you would have to decide how long you would have to keep the loan to save enough money to pay for the costs.Loans work off simple interest, so you do not have to factor in how long you have had the loan to make sense of it.

With the description of your proximity this will affect demand significantly.He also stated proximity to campus isn't a key decision factor for students anymore.
