I wouldn't either if i did not intend to hold the property more than a few years ..... Unless the paper was onerous it really would not make any difference..... as long as you dont get stuck in a long term hold on bad paper you are ok .... of course the other alternative is far less appealing. ...

are we still talking about this ? Clearly the answer is no. Your responsibility is to pay the taxes you owe and as long as you do that you are OK. If a nonsensical requirement comes along - or discussion of a situation that clearly is unreasonable - then you just ignore it and pay your tax...

Hmmm ..... $soft has always charged for their tools in one form or another ... unless you were using them illegally .... they dont give them away free, even to their partners - who pay a fee for the pleasure. I actually do provide people definitive answers to questions rather than a lot...

No actually in my 27 years of programming experience including 5 in .Net I have had to pay $soft continuously - the development ools are not free, only the crippled ones are free and the OS and servers are very expensive. Its much like a drug dealer - the first one is free but the rest is not...

Anyone ever notice how the people that attack using denigration tactics really have nothing to say ? Anyway, to the original poster ... if you truly desire to develop a strategic system for your own company use and you aren't mandated to use a particular technology you should definitely look...

People that intend to live in their home or bought for the purpose of long term holds near the bottom of the previous cycle will be OK but people that bought on speculation over the last 4 years or so may have some hard decisions to make .....

Actually, if you look at the price appreciation over the last 8 or nine years in So. Ca. you would see that prices tripled (or even quintupled ) in many areas. This was coming off of a 20-30% correction during the early 1990's. The direction of the price spike has in my opinion far overreached...

Yes. This is true. Rents will attempt to peg up since as rates rise landlords know that fewer people can opt out of renting and thus with a hostage customer they can raise rates. Still, the extra rent will not offset a potential loss on a housing correction, and 10 year lockin on residential...

Well ... if you are going to learn something new you might as well use open source or java. I thought you wanted to not have to reinvent the wheel as much.... If you are now saying that you want a strategic solution you should also consider Java, and open source solutions like Python, PHP, and...

Yes, Carlsbad is nice, as are many So. Ca. communities. My concern for Ca. is that by the time that properties adjust, many more companies and wage earning age people will have left the state, leaving behind a vacuum consisting of retirees and new immigrants. The last thing california needs is...

Certainly renters are hoping for a pullback in prices ..... And I agree that any pullback will be moderated in areas with top quality schools ultra low crime (nonexistent) and family friendly communities........ But unfortunately even in these family centric locations speculators have moved in -...

Well... Santa Clara is relatively close to the center of things ....... Just think you could perhaps walk to Great America ..... Actually, if you were doing a forced relocation then the Santa Clara stuff would be a reasonable temporary solution for housing ....

Nope not angry. Real Estate is the best investement ever ..... Buy more.

kool. Keep buying and moving up ... its easy money .. heck buy 10 or twenty..... housing is the best investment and a great way to make a living ... start a real esate brokerage or a housing related business .. its a great time to do so ... just look at the stats: the largest number of new...

For your situation use what you are already familiar with - VB .net would be easiest. ,Net really is not that difficult nor complex: anyone can pick it up using a basic inroductory book as a guide. Much of it is similar to the VB6 incarnation so it will at least be familiar as will the $soft...

Yes. This is what it means. However the overpricing was based upon speculative momentum in the market at the time they set the initial pricing. Now that this pricing pressure has reduced or disappeared, they are finding that non-speculative buyers - those that actually plan to live in them as...

I think its a red flag when people paint an unrealistic picture of a profession. No, these aren't my experiences. I own two technical firms and have numerous patents and awards. However I see the writing on the wall: most of my colleagues have moved their operations overseas or are planning...

I have always thought it pathetic that the most experienced engineers and scientists are almost universally cut or lanquish after helping develop new industries and technologoes: Unfortunately the mode of operation in engineering and science in the United States is that once you complete an...

There appears little reason to major in compsci or computer engineering. You will be competing with the rest of the developing world on price/salary when you graduate and during the degree program you will be asked to prove that you are better than most practicing engineers / scientists. An...

I'm really not understanding all the noise being generated on this topic. Have any of you dealt with the IRS directly before ? Its no big deal. They are not to be feared as long as you are not attempting something boderline illegal. Ther are two reasons you really dont need to think...
