Maybe your cash investors had the cash invested and are waiting for the markets to recover.Either way, I would't panic after four days, especially in this volatile economic market.Peter

That's funny.Rather than spend money on that I would like to see the project to Europa happen.It is one of the ice moons with glacier like ice surface with cracks opening and closing.The scientists believe and underwater ocean is beneath the ice.Where there is water and oxygen there can be forms of life.The project talks about sending an unmanned submarine into one of the cracks with a camera to explore.There are literally millions to billions of planets thought to exist.Some mimick the exact conditions of Earth but are too far away with current technology to reach.I personally do not think we are the only thing out there.The science adds up to existence on other planets.I find it fascinating but can understand why with the current economic crunch we need to fix the stuff on our own planet before exploring others.

In a economy were unemployment is at its highest in years, monster companies going down like (insert sexual joke here), banks limiting their output of lending, the stock market, US economic woes, etc.

Stating these "desirable" results as an objective either tags the writer as inexperienced or as someone who does not understand the free market economic system (such as a hollywood liberal!).

It is sad to see such a successful CEO, Businessman, and Role Model have to leave the company he created due to health reasons.

Unfortunately, the note holder is a 75+ your old widow with a disabled adult daughter so she's very unwilling to extend it because her health is ailing.Do you know of anyone who would be a private lender that might be interested?

Upon formal inspection for Home/Pest found unpermitted electrical/plumbing/foundation/HVAC work that is a section 1 safety/health problem.Bank won't reduce price to meet rehab costs, looking to call county permit office and place permit violation liens on the property to see if bank sees them as more serious issues and reduce the price.

If you believe in economic cycles, these opportunities may not last once confidence gets back to "normal", people "see" the cost of ownership value proposition, and acquisition money drives prices back to rational market levels.

From an economic standpoint the FEDs need to show that housing is moving forward, however slowly.

You need to call your insurance provider.They will tell you a list of what is okay and not.Mine no aggressive breeds of animals is permitted or they will pull the policy on all the buildings.Rottweiler,Pitt Bull,etc.Some insurance policies have weight exclusions but some do not.Another important factor is the BITE HISTORY of the animal.If it's deemed a non-aggressive breed but that little dog has a bad history of biting people then I won't take the animal.I don't like pet deposits.You have to hold it like a security deposit.Instead I like a one time "pet acceptance fee" that is non-refundable.The tenants will say the pet won't do anything etc. but the amount of pet deposits that actually go back to the tenant after they leave I would guess is very,very small.You can also get the tenant to pay a pet fee per month.With the pet fee you need to figure out the cost of the unit for new carpet and damage to the base boards.The cost to be carpet,pad, and labor to install plus baseboard finish and paint.Used to you could put a vapor barrier between the carpet and the pad but it would be really noisy.Now if you spend just a little more you can get a scotch pad made out of rubber that is stain resistant.Then when you go to replace the carpet the pad is still good.Have in your lease that the tenant will be responsible for clipping claws,neutering,getting rabies and other shots to maintain the health and well being of the animal,etc.
