Abu Dhabi will buy securities that convert into stock and yield 11 percent a year, almost double the interest Citigroup offers bond investors, underscoring the New York-based company's need for cash.

If they do I'll let em theres plenty of deals out there (it has never happened to me) If you want to be 100% secure call a realtor one of their listing tell them you want to submit an offer and ask them you to email a blank AS-IS contract make minor changes and your off.In terms of reading I went to a bookstore (library if you are short on funds) go to the realestate section get a stack of books and take out whatever seems the most interesting.

That's almost always secured by property.

An example of an expense that “cash money” on and that is not a “paper” write off would be something like office supplies, etc.

Operating expenses include (but are not limited to): taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, entity maintenance, advertising, utilities (at least during vacancies), legal fees, damage done by tenants (over the security deposit), vacancies, setouts, lawsuits, and capital expenses (not technically an operating expense).There is no 2.5% rule.
