I dunno, but the seller sure already found a way to blow the money of the capital gains, so maybe the seller needs to figure out how to sell some of the items purchased with those gains to pay the tax bill to the IRS.

Anne Johnson you are very sweet advocating for her.Rather than whispering, she needs to pull up her big girl panties and market herself as a kick butt virtual assistant hired gun, who is more a PROPERTY OWNER WHISPERER, and can interpret the next moooooove of us landlords and git er done even before we ask.THAT would make her indispensable, and much sought after!

The things that work still blow my mind.

I call BS.You should be advocating for Detroit to improve it will help your property values in your "nice" neighborhood of Lincoln Park/Allen Park(which from where I'm from is a near slum).  

I have a day job too, so I don't need my phone to be blowing up at all hours.

Theres much less chance of this scenario if the Plumber goes a "change out " of a fixture4 No plumber worth his salt will do a "Band Aid " repair or restoration.Personally if a client wants me to do a half assed or Mickey Mouse repair job that is unsafe or with impede or jeopardize the integrity or soundness of the house,,,I will try and explain the need another way and try and sell the work again,,,if the guy wont listen to me and take my good advice I will walk,,,"sorry we didnt have a meeting of the minds Sir,,,please fell free to get another opinion,,,"5 Fixtures and plumbing materials installed in tract housing were better than nothing ,,but not much better,,,its time to change that old stuff out ,,lets face it.Other thing is,,,todays fixtures are much better in quality and function,,,case in point ,,,the new Pressure Balancing Shower Valves from firms like Moen,Symmons and Groehe,,,,grandma and little kids wont get scalded by hot water in the shower anymore6 The Swiss have a saying "Buy the best and you buy it once" or something like that,,,,,,same goes for plumbing7 If your Plumber has the same damn fixture installed in his own house,,,whatever the Hell it is ,you know damn well its good,,,hes seen it all,,,,,,and quess what busy plumber dont have time to work on their own damn plumbing,,,thats the last thing in world they wanna do8 Stay away from the "1/2 Plastic Junk" Faucets they sell in the Home Centers,,,,I wouldnt put those crummy faucets in my grand daughters "dollhouse"/Nor would I install one in my worst enemies house.They have integral leaks from the factory and they slip fit plastic fittings on the water supply tubing blow apart under pressure.Stay away pilgrims.Bad idea,,,,Hope this helps gang.Happy New YearDD in Los Angeles

Problem is, as I see it with hammer tactics, if the deal blows up and the agreement surfaces, regardless of your intentions you may then be seen as predatory in the dealings putting you at a disadvantage in any court of equity, so I avoid such ploys to ensure I'm wearing the white hat.

However, you will also find a lot of intelligent posters with real knowledge that will blow your mind, who are simply interested in economics and wealth preservation.

I personally wouldn't want to release my information to BP and Joe Blow decided I was cute or even worse I pissed him off and now he'd like to know where I reside, and unfortunately with the least bit of information he or she would be able to find out..

It's easy to blow hours on twitter (like facebook) BSing with people and building a following.
