The real estate business bug has recently bitten my family. Specifically purchasing homes, flipping them, and then putting them back on the market. A great business! But recently I was approached with a proposition for a home to be purchased in my name. The reasons for doing so are because one of the family members recently purchased a new home and a new car. The other family member’s credit is not so good I assume. My credit is pretty good. I’m in my mid-20’s, no kids, still at home with parents, and saving money every week. They’ve let me know I could get a lump sum of money from the purchase, which sounds great. But I am not a money hungry individual. I love my family, but I know that the mix of family and money can sometimes lead to a Judge Mathis episode. I was contemplating having a contract or agreement drawn up for precautionary reasons. I know that life happens and anything can make this great opportunity into a terrible situation. I want to protect my future…my credit and my future family. Is anyone aware of some specifics that should be covered in this agreement that is legally binding (that covers someone in my position)? What are some questions that I should have answered to before signing any papers?

I love my family, but business is business!!!

Reading an article.

Trying to understand what is the link between each of these – The US is running high current account deficits (about 5.5 per cent of GDP in 2005) and this may lead to a weaker US$ in the future. US$ depreciation could push up interest rates, which in turn may burst the real estate “bubble” in the US.

So what is the link between high current account deficity and a weaker dollar?

And what is the link between a weaker dollar and high interest rates?

And what is the link between high interest rates and a real estate market crash?

They have destroyed real estate—while claiming to want it to recover. The rules and laws that the Democrats have enacted has destroyed it. (New Lead Paint rules and the SAFE act)

They have turned victory into defeat. Just like the liberals did in Vietnam.

They have announced a free trade pact with South Korea–while claiming to be “the working mans friend”.

Now they have granted equal protection in the military to those who chose a morally deviant and dangerous lifestyle. Never mind the effect such a policy has on the war.

How long does it take and what kind of job? I’m not talking about real estate agents because that’s the kind of job I’m trying to get out of due to living an unstable lifestyle for 5 years.

This is for a real estate start up company. The website will be our main source for generating leads. I know what I want it to look like . I know what I need it to do. I need it to “track” our traffic, needs mortgage calculators, will have several links. I need it to have forms for guests to fill out, etc. I know alittle HTML and thats about it.

They report this as ‘A passage opened in the previously frozen Artic Sea.’

IT’S GLOBAL WARMING! HELLO!!!???? Am I the crazy one here? Seriously, am I an evrionmental nutcase? Is the Artic Ocean meltdown actually a good thing?

Headline next week will probably read: “More coastal flooding leads to new real estate opportunities”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!
