Some neighborhood decline was reversed, and after 5 years the city starts getting property tax payments again.But then...Why should we give houses to yuppies!  

But, government meddling bugs me, just because I'm a tax payer and I don't trust them, and I know this isn't about safety, it's about cash flow for the city. 

For security, they leverage a delinquent taxpayer's property.

Did you know that the IRS has 4.8 billion dollars in overpaid taxes waiting to be retrieved by U.S. taxpayers who have overpaid and do not realize it?

Anyone else remember the Resolution Trust that cost the U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars to dispose of assets in the 80's?

Tax payers do not want to see tax dollars wasted so HUD needs to make sure the process is fair and transparent.

Something I recommend to everyone is to take a look at their monthly expenses every so often and see what can be moved from the personal side to the business side.Remember, to make an expense a legitimate write-off you need to ask yourself if that expense passes the "reasonable and necessary for the production of income" test.Many of you who run your businesses through S Corporations (or LLCs taxed as S Corps) know all about estimated tax payments, too.

Additionally a rule such as 1-1-6, which seems Un-American by limiting competition in business-to-business transactions, probably would have resulted in many individuals and business unknowingly violating the rule and being subject to potential fines for promoting the repair of properties and helping to stabilize homes values.I would think that many would ask “Why did the Board (DORA) promote the interest of mortgage brokers, limit competition, and slow the recovery of property values (and the economy) when many of the statutes passed to help protect tax payers and homeowners from predatory lending and restore a stability to property values?”
