How have the fire inspections gone.

For $230 I got 3 months worth of fire and basic insurance.

They don't expect to start building tomorrow, but they are adding the land to their portfolio now at fire sale prices hoping to make a return within a couple of years.Looks like the big money (but not necessarily the smart money) believes we're near the bottom out here.

He plans to occupy the house as his primary residence, but for estate planning purposes, he wants to put his house into a land trust with himself as the beneficiary so he can designate a successor benefiary and avoid probate if/when he dies.My question is, if he transfers the property title into the land trust now, is this title transfer considered a sale so as to invoke repayment of the tax credit?

well thats kind of my problem here josh...i did tell him i needed him to be straight with me even if it's bad/no news, i just want to be informed.a little more back story here... i was working with another guy @ key before this and he stalled me for 5 weeks on another property before saying "they said no" and "i'm quitting key bank" in the same sentence, he was actually fired by the way. all of his files got dropped on this guy who is the sales manager.this guy is difficult to get ahold of and when you DO get him to respond he states "everything is going great and i'm in contact with the underwriter" and "everything is golden, all i have to do is order the appraisal". he has not once returned my re agents calls or emails when needing or sharing info on the transaction and she is telling me she's never worked with a banker like him. i'm feeling "fed up" which i just keep telling myself that these things are normal for the "first time buyer" process... right?

If they aren't investor friendly, they will probably look at you like your head is on fire when you try to explain what you need to do.

You could get someone shocked or start a fire.

then send him to motivational classes or courses. your money will be much better spent that way and he will thank you forever.instead of having to give him incentives, when he gets back he'll give you some.if he wont go, then fire him.jeff

., and how dangerous the "ready, fire, aim" approach to business can be.
