For 2011's tax purposes, the rehab and its related expenses (rehab costs, taxes, insurance, electric bills, etc.) will be counted toward that home and as "inventory."

I'm trying to find out if someone related to me has ever owned property in Illinois, specifically, the Chicago area.

As a borrower if you can not take a step back and look objectively at your project find a friend who can.

I assume you are primarily interested in real estate related businesses.

While interest rates should be relatively low for a year at least, they will rise one day.

While you might be constrained to stocks and bonds by your 401k plan at work, other than a relatively few prohibited investments such as insurance and art, I’m not aware of any after tax investments you can make that you can’t also shelter behind a self-directed retirement plan.All of this assumes you don’t need the money soon, say for health reasons, but you didn’t say that.

One thing it does illustrate, and this is one way I use it, is to show the relative number of buyers and what times of the year they are and aren't active.

Of course you could always create a wiki tailored to this objective yourself, but there may already be a robust platform available.

I'm interested to discuss some of the marketing ideas other Real Estate Professionals and Enthusiast use as it relates to Search Engine Marketing, Putting Your Website on Page 1 of the SERPS in your Market, Whether you use a content management system like Wordpress or Drupal for your professional website.

I can't help but wonder if this might be because the people just passed away.Isn't it too soon to expect to find probate-related documents associated with someone who just passed away?
