Maybe in April 2020

Anytime is a good time if you find the right deal and/or you have the right plan of attack.

I wouldn’t expect to find a retail move-in ready property on the MLS that cashflows right now. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find something that will work with a little negotiation and added value.

Probably depends on your strategy.

Is this an equity hold or are you looking for immediate cash flow? If the former, it could still be good as a buy and hold for 2-3 years, but there's always inherent risk there.

I took level 1 and passed many years ago. Now I wanted to resume the program by first reviewing the recent L1 materials.

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Sorry if this isn't the right bowl for this question - I've checked a few.

Hi All,

If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
