It's a great way to joining a soup line!

So, up to this point I have been mentored on changing my mindset, and I am ready to start learning specific industries now.

As for the home that started the thread, the plot thickened here the last day as I did more research, thanks to the internet.

If you want to help strangers, volunteer at a soup kitchen.

These are listings with a real estate company and the agents have the entire alphabet soup of licenses from MMDC, CCIM, ABR & CRS.

That is the situation better explained.Sarah Bixby and John Thedford thanks for that 1% tip, never know about it....is that 1% return on rental rule supposed to be net or gross ( meaning after taxes and insurance and other expenses)Now the plot thickens.....las afternoon i received a call from my realtor, that the bank is considering another higher offer , and if i would consider give a higher offer.

The mortgage industry is full of organizations, like the American Banker's Association that has educational programs for members. hen, there are the alphabet soup agencies like the OCC, FDIC, CFPB and HUD that provide public consumables to enlighten anyone willing to look things up.

(not in it for the $$$, just to get into the market, PROBONO work)2. my accountant said I can't deduct any of the work I have done on it... b/c I am not generating any INCOME from it.3. in PA, I can't even management it if I don't have BROKER license (thank goodness for POA (power attorney)these are things I didn't know til after...I have another investor waiting (again a family) but I really don't want to do another probono work..... so I am getting my license now.Make sure you have in WRITING the 50/50 split, and that you have Power of Attorney... or open an LLC with both your names on it, and by it that way.we haven't decided to buy/hold/rent or sale.....my investor is pretty much hands off..which is nice bc they are out of state... but even still, "too many cook in the soup" can happen, b/c it is their 100% money and their property.without the POA...I have no say in this deal.

The sources and percentages are listed below.For 2000 household incomehttp://censtats.census.gov/data/US/01000.pdf($41,994)For 2007 household incomehttp://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/income_wealth/010583.html($48,200)So, up 15%_________________________________per capita money income went up 22% from 2000 to 2006:http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/tables/08s0657.xls_________________________________The bureau of economic analysis stated that personal income grew 25% in the last four years:http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/regional/spi/spi_newsrelease.htm

We're already at over $8 trillion in all of the FED's alphabet soup lending facilities, at some point the US Dollar will price in a default (or at least severe inflation).
