A few years ago, my Sister passed.  We were very close.  She was the third in four family members closest to me that passed within 11 months.   Talk about lessons from life.  I could give you a few.  I'm sure for those of you who have experienced similar, you would agree!The other night I had a very quick dream.  It didn't really make sense to me at the time..until yesterday, when I was telling myself, that you needed to get these things behind you and 1) schedule dentist 2) schedule eye exam, etc.....When you are handling family affairs and selling real estate full-time, who has time to take care of themselves?  But it was time.As I began scheduling and taking care of things on my 'to-do-list' from yesterday, and then went to lie down for a few moments because I had accomplished a good... 09/01/2022

We have had the most unusual (or so it seems) weather this year....well, last Monday, I learned first hand what carrying away means!  I took my shirt off to spend a few minutes in my garden.  That few minutes turned into three hours!  When I came in, I thought, oh, the beach sun must not be as strong as I thought?  Took a shower, and then seems okay...then took a nap.  Well, when I woke up, I was a tomato!  My back was fairly scorched!That night when I took another shower, I read up on home remedies and one of them was to apply Apple Cider Vinegar.  Well, to be honest, that saved a trip to Rite Aid, and was very soothing.  It dried up fairly quickly as well. I understand it has medicinal qualities to help heal the sunburn faster and more efficiently.  It's now two days later and I'm jus... 08/31/2022

I gave him a ball park value range and told him it will be a long sale.  I also mentioned to him that if he is willing to pay for an appraisal and spend about $500 he will get an accurate number. He laughed and sent me an email chain form a local Real Estate agent who was willing to offer him 10 per cent of what I suggested as a list price.  Then he immediately sent me an appraisal he paid for after he got the low ball offer.

Three out of five Offers-In-Compromise presented by the taxpayer are denied by the IRS. Many taxpayer - negotiated offers bid to the IRS significantly more than is mandatory by law. The taxpayer may be too scared, exasperated or overwhelmed by the IRS to bargain a resolution successfully or contentedly. Most taxpayers are far better-off keeping their distance from the IRS and many prefer to leave the wrangling to their... 07/29/2021
