What's up with the #!RT symbols?!? #OldFolks listen up! http://wp.me/p146tm-aV

Let's take a minute to get down to the basics...

Seriously, what's up with all symbols? Am I [Justin] constantly cursing the Facebook & Twitter Worlds? No I'm not, and I'm ashamed if you thought that. It just occured to me that a large portion of our fans and followers are not in the 18 - 28 age group.

This is an example of what I am talking about off our Facebook Fan Page.

 

Let's get down to it -

All of this gibberish is focused at the Twitter world. The facebook posts just happen to be a byproduct of my laziness in posting separately between the two. There are certain symbols that help to control conversations on twitter, and they are:

@: Talk publicly to another person

This is equivalent to tagging someone on Facebook. If you wanted to say something to me on Twitter you would type: "@thecoREgroup yahta-yahta-yahta..."

Don't forget: Everyone can see this.

d: Talk privately to another person

OWN A RENTAL PROPERTY? THE IRS NEEDS TO KNOW…

If you own ONE rental unit… from this year on, all vendors that perform at least $600 worth of work for you now, via Federal law, must be sent an IRS 1099 Form. The obligation to monitor the vendors and issue 1099 forms are not new, but last year, when the federal government enacted the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (HR 5297) extended this requirement to all owners, no matter how small. Even property owners who rent are just doing a secondary activity, perhaps as part of the family investment fund or retirement savings plan, are now considered to be  ”conducting trade or business” to declare 1099 as it now applies to them.

Don't bank your purchase on a Zestimate? http://wp.me/p146tm-aJ

Zillow is a great real estate website I must admit. This page is one of the first to come up in any real estate based google search, so it must be good and accurate information, right? Personally, as a real estate professional, I like zillow. However, I would be shot at every single listing appointment if I went in with zestimates. Of course, I would love to list homes at zillow prices, because they would sell in a matter of minutes.

The key to selling property is that the sellers set the listing price while buyers determine the sells price. I often have buyers tell me that they will purchase a listing but they will not pay a dime over the Zestimate. What is funny about this is that Zillow admits that these figures are (at times) dramatically different that reality. Without going into detail on how they come up with these numbers, the fact is that this website is unable to account for condition and relevance...

FHA EXTENDS SUSPENSION OF ‘ANTI-FLIPPING’ RULE FOR ANOTHER YEAR

FHA EXTENDS SUSPENSION OF ‘ANTI-FLIPPING’ RULE FOR ANOTHER YEAR

For quite some time the FHA frowned upon financing for buyers purchasing homes from sellers who had owned the property for less than 90 days. The idea was to prevent speculators from defrauding the government through quick flips of houses — often involving straw buyers and corrupt appraisers — at heavily inflated prices. In Central …
