It's often the case that the higher return more than makes up for the early withdrawal penalty after X months, with 12 often being X.A certificate of deposit is super low risk, and not sexy at all, but it's secure, you control it, and it's not subject to the whims of wall street. 

I am a financial planning major with a certificate in informatics and data processing. 

After that, I will probably move into the necessary courses to get a Project Management Professional certification and my real estate license in Wisconsin.     

I'm in Jax too - just got a gift certificate to the new Top Golf for my b-day so maybe we can hit some balls and chat REI sometime.

I want to get my Home Inspection certification and I was just wondering if there was anyone else that is currently doing the same thing?

@Dawn LaMattina Asher Here you go:https://www.mariposacounty.org...Then click on:B&B/Vacation Rental/Ag Homestay and Amended Certificates when on-site inspections ARE required - for Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) (PDF)It's not the clearest...feel free to call if you have questions!

If my client is able to get the permit approved with certificate of occupancy, would the extra 400 sq ft (garage size) be applied to the total square footage of the house?

I am curious about the importance of a certificate of occupancy.

So, assume 12 months for the redemption period, plus 120 days or so for the foreclosure, plus another 120-180 days or so for the quiet title.Depending on the dollar value of the property, we normally use a vendor out of California to bar the right of redemption, complete service, and issue a title certificate that can be relied upon locally to issue a title policy just as like any other retail transaction.

I once told an instructor that a certification I was testing for was as good as toilet paper.
