You should have come up and introduced yourself to me, I was there with my partner Michael and Rosie brought us up on stage to speak and give away one of our CD's that night.

while it is still way too early...i really think charlie crist will be throwing his hat in this time around. i still think that if mccain had him as a running mate the race would have been a lot closer. i wouldn't be surprised if mccain did offer him the post, but crist turned him down as he had his eyes on the bigger desk.he's already positioning himself in the national stage by gunning for mel martinez's opening seat.

"Expenses" is not quite the correct word, since that 50% includes operating expenses (taxes, insurance, manitenance, property management, utilities for common areas or when its vacant, CPA fees, legal fees, HOA fees if those apply, tenant damage in excess of security deposits, etc.), capital items (roof, sewer lines, furnace, special assessments by an HOA), and vacancy (which turns into rent that doesn't get collected.)

Someone smarter than me could post that here.        If you're complaining about the top 1%, maybe I'd agree the excess might go into the pockets of "that greedy" owner.

Great stuff for staging properties!

But the excess (I think the limit is $12K or $13K this year) is deducted from the amount of exclusion from inheritance taxes.

Does the excess heat cause the rafters/trusses to warp?

I realize $300 isn't a lot of money in the grand scheme of things but this is in the early stages so I'm trying to avoid it if possible.

However I have built and staged many homes and gutted and remodeled the one that I am in.

The cost of group term life insurance is not taxable unless it exceeds 50K in coverage, then the cost of the excess is a taxable benefit and the employer must include in taxable wage or salary income.
