Hi @Marlia Stone - wow... that's a lot of questions :)1) How did I know I was officially ready?  

This idiot takes pictures of some old termite damage in the rafters of a cinder block house with aluminum windows and newly refinished Terrazzo stone, floors.

@Stone Jin you mean Odelot, OH?

I know it's hard to believe as it was single digit weather yesterday but we have a fair share of homeless people here and "stone cold criminals" LOL.

Quote from @Es Stones: what an amazing thread this has been for this rookie! 

My current taxes are $196 annually and I am in the process of getting that set in stone for 15 years.

But if you think your juts an average type, looking for minimal returns keep moving   This is  not for everyone....although I personally think anyone can do it   But not everyone will.Unless they have stones.

@Stone Jin I try not to make any predictions regarding development of the old Southwyck Mall space, it's changed hands (and had more promises made) more times than I can remember...

@Jaden AdamsDid you know that Mick Jagger dropped out of the London School of Economics to sing for the Rolling Stones?

Account Closed you do raise very goods points.The points about foreign taxation and estate are advanced tax planning depend a lot on your tax treaty.
