I have built single family homes, rehabbed residential and commercial property, tenant build outs, and renovated multifamily units for the private sector, community development organizations, and non-profits.

I also find properties for families that are under government programs.

Your intention suggests that you will do good in this sector.

Has the government laid out the specifics for streamlining the short sale process through the "Making Home Affordable" program?

Great nightlife there.I wonder for how long the government can prop up the economy.

No government cheese for him, and he got his piece of the American dream.

:mrgreen: Don't you mean government officials now :mrgreen:

I suspect it will do more good in the long run than the $8,000 first time buyers credit.People who have owned a house for 5 years are going to be more financially stable than first time buyers who can't get together a down payment without the government chipping in.I know a few people (lots of people) who have told me they want to buy, but they are waiting for the bottom of the market.

This would obviously skip a potential long step in development costs and government approvals for zoning but would have no income until the market returns.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles govern and the SEC oversees public investments and reporting, so we have to rely on that.
