Everyone has a camera or a video recorder on their mobile phone.  People are taking pictures and video everywhere they go, so it just seems natural to want to take photos of a house you may purchase.  But you should take photos of the homes only if you have written permission from the residents.It is usually okay to take a photo of the house from the street because that is something the public can easily see.  Besides, the photo of the front of the house is probably on Google maps already anyway.However, to take photos of the interior, you should get permission from the seller.  Even if it is a vacant house, the seller probably won’t mind; but ask your REALTOR® to contact the seller and get permission first anyway.Unless you have written permission from the residents, taking photos of o...

Helpful Tips from Tom Bass, EA CTC, Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute Because most savvy people (or at least those who have a smart tax pro in their corner  ) can decide the timing and amount of capital gains they choose to realize each year, the capital gains tax is considered by many economists to be very "elastic".And as such, the amount of capital gains we choose to realize on your behalf depends heavily on the favorability of the capital gains tax rate.As a result, over half of capital gains in this country are never taxed. They are avoided completely. But that means the effort of avoiding the tax causes capital to be allocated inefficiently in the meantime.In my opinion, this particular tax can sometimes punish growth and entrepreneurship. Were the capital gains tax to...

A hallmark of East Coast housing, row homes are 3 or more houses built in a row that share common side walls with each other, but each home is individually owned.  These charming old-style homes are built alike, giving the neighborhood a stylish look of uniformity that is still rich in character.  Row homes are built on long, narrow lots and are renowned for their historic appeal in downtown metro areas.  Typically each home has 2 stories, plus an attic and a basement. Other names for row houses are row homes, terrace houses, patio houses, or townhouses.  These side-by-side houses are referred to as “townhomes” in the Midwest, the South, and the Great Plains areas.  Distinctive types of popular row houses are “brownstones” (New York) and “greystones” (Chicago).
