I like greenville, sc and the lakes around there and I like pigeon forge and tn in general too.

It's interesting to see how Jacksonville, FL has gone back and forth in value.There seems to have been pretty tremendous leaps of improvement in Columbus, Portland, Seattle, and Salt Lake City over the years too.Albuquerque, NM went from being one of the better markets in 2003 to pretty mediocre in 2016.

We have openings in some great markets (Seattle/Portland, Vegas/Salt Lake, Gulf Coast of Florida, Dallas and DC/Baltimore). 

I thought that was strange that he (allegedly) offered max out of the gate.

@Brian Burke Good one mate.Funny timing as I just put the finishing touches on my 2018 goals (Started planning 2018 in 2016 lol).I'm super weird when it comes to this stuff as I like playing "Nostradamus" and "calling" out to my fate.I started this in 2015 and had 39 major goals to hit.2016 had 432017 had 58And now 2018 has 50Here are some of them below:Buy, fix and sell 250+ propertiesGrow List’n Sell Realty to 200+ agents Raise $3m for List’n Sell’s online platform (Rogue), app, expansion (new markets), ICO, mergers/acquisitions and lead generationBuy a condo in Lombardy, Italy (Lake Como)Buy a condo in Havana, CubaWin a company award for Ohio Cashflow (Inc 5000)Give 3 houses awayPublish “The Raw Truth To Success In Real Estate” BookStart my license to become a pilot (Look out @Jay Hinrichs) hahaAnd the list goes on...So far I have around 20 listed for 2019 and 10 or so for 2020 lolIt's truly amazing how when you write down your goals, they subconsciously become a part of you and they start coming to fruition.Nothing beats hard work and taking action.This has been our best year to date (4x) and am looking forward to doubling it in 2018Much success to everyone

Allyn Wijnveldt I live in Salt Lake let me know if you want to connect.

@Michael Plaks depending on the type of business, the age of the child, and the work performed, I do feel you can substantiate $10-12k wages.Presence of the following factors will lead the IRS to conclude that payments to a child are not deductible: failing to pay employment taxes and file information returns for the child (where required)paying the child a flat amount determined at the beginning of the year that is not based on the services actually performedlack of correlation between the dates and amounts of payments and the hours allegedly worked by the childfailing to maintain adequate records of the child’s hours worked and amounts earned, andcompensating the child for services that are routine family chores.In Eller v Commissioner 77 T.C. 934, the court allowed wages paid in 1974 to children ages 14, 13, and 9 in the amounts of $2,684, $2,616, and $1,868 respectively.

Here's what I DO know: 6,000 ft, Solar powered, sits next to a lake on 5 acres.

Several people, including myself, were left hanging for 30+ days after the deal was allegedly submitted for underwriting and approved. 

Are they trying to boost the overall appeal by spending on bike paths, clean lakes, hiking trails,...
