If the seller is going to get 100% of the money in a couple weeks after I tender my downpayment anyway, what is the effect of a bigger or smaller downpayment?

Say you earn $10,000 from your work... you would pay $2500 to the government and receive $10,000 from the government for an effective income of $17,500.

Personally I've never been able to make as much at a job as I have self employed, however were I to have a high paying job I'd stick with it and slowly build cashflow.

So, in effect, you could buy today and assign your contract before you actually close............but in any event, I would not advise you to get into any deal unless you were confident that you could close (ie: have the funds or resources to obtain financing), in case, essentially, you were unable to assign your contract to your satisfaction.

Approximate Tax value $84,000. ... i jumped on yahoo maps and took my self there.. wondering why it was so cheap, i found out quick... when i arrived at the house, i realized i was in the ghetto; crackhead/hooker neighborhood... my car was then attacked by 3 hookers, it was kinda funny..and nasty. anyways i left. end of story, lol.

To start with I wouldn't believe ANYTHING that Michael Savage says, the guy is just another gasbag, know nothing, bigot in the mold of Rush Limbaugh and others.The lack of civil liberties that you refer to is something called the (paraphrasing here) "Disrupting A Foreign Dignatary" Act, or something to that effect.

Anti virus and anti spyware programs are only as good as the latest update and effective only against the more common threats.

i think using your name as a .com is a great way to promote yourself in this business. it is cost effective and looks powerful on a business card; and as long as you have "Realtor®" or another indication of your occupation on the card clients will know what your site is about.most agents in my office have a registered domain under their name and then redirect the domain to their page on our site. as the webmaster, this is also a great way to monitor who is bringing users to our site as their names show up in the analytics. i suggest registering a handful of domains, market each of them differently then monitor the results, change strategies, rinse and repeat.Sincerely,Rising Realtyps.

Politicians have a stigma for being creepy and self serving because that's what history has repeatedly demonstrated for the past 10,000 years.

The points that a Broker charges can effect not only the closing cost but also the interest rate as well.
