Been reading numerous personal finance books and lurking BP for a few months now, but the savings are finally shaping up, so I've decided to take it more seriously :) I'm a recent college grad from the bay area who's been in industry for about 1-2 years now and I'm really interested in setting up a positive, reliable cashflow for myself to reach financial independence.

I fixed the issue straight away, there was no real problem.Hope it will continue like this.I read IRS publication 946.

I have been reading books and watching podcasts for the last few weeks.

Audible has been my best friend and I’ve gone through a few of the newbie reads like Richest Man in Babylon, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and Cashflow Quadrant.

The person you sold the property too, or the person the owner sold the property to.Before you say you have first right through a contract, I will have you re-read my first paragraph.
