The Federal Reserve System
EARLY BEGINNINGS
The Federal Reserve System (the Fed) was established in 1913 to bring a
sense of stability, organization and security to American's banking
system. Up until 1863, the banking system was comprised of the
First Bank (1791-1811), the Second Bank (1816-1836), state

What do you think life would be like without
a plan? Perhaps human civilization would falter and there would be no
progressive movement for something better. Or some could break out of
the mold and succeed. While the intricate details of our own lives are
ours to handle, luckily the cities we reside in have thought of those
things. The city of Chicago is one

In the past 5-10 years, society has been
inundated by the real estate investing craze. Information can be found
blasted over radio, television, and various media outlets. Many real
estate gurus have surfaced and have even made millions simply from the
sale of their “how to” material. We've heard about real estate
flipping, land lording, tax sales, no money down strategies, etc. Many
people have chosen to get involved and

 In
my last article, I gave a very important formula all rehabbers should
be aware of: CHUNKS of SPENDING + CHUNKS of TIME = CHUNKS of
MONEY. I believe it's a formula, my own of course, that warrants being
brought up again and again. Having a passion for rehabbing is no

Over the past several years, there has been
a constant stream of reports with regard to the continuing prevalence of
mortgage fraud in Chicago. In fact, Chicago is ranked #3 on the 2006 FBI
List of Real Estate and Mortgage Fraud hot spots. Surprisingly enough,
Chicago gang members have entered the mortgage fraud arena and reaped
enormous profits to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in
recent months. This push by gang members from the stereotypical drug
trades to the white-collar

 My first rehab was definitely an experience. I would
describe it as one of the best things that happened in my life because I
learned the dos and don'ts in real estate rehabbing all in one
transaction.
So go and grab some milk and cookies
while I take you through this experience that changed my life

There are important issues regarding the IRS Code Section 1031 that will
be addressed as a part of this series. Among them are ownership
interests, partnerships, and disregarded entities. We will also take
another brief look at Tenants-In-Common (TIC) as they relate to 1031
Exchange transactions. The ownership interest portion of our discussion

There are various types
of real estate appraisals an investor needs from time to time. Today,
we will be discussing “Subject To” appraisals.
What is a “Subject to”
appraisal?
“Subject to” appraisals

“A man's wealth is not
in the coins he carries in his purse, it is in the income he buildeth,
the golden stream that continually floweth into his purse and keepeth it
always bulging,…an income that continueth to come whether thou work or
travel.” George S. Clason, The Richest Man in Babylon
Compounding interest is
everywhere. It is in the credit cards you use,

You can choose success.
Do you believe this? If you do not, then you have chosen (yes, chosen) a
different route and success will not be a prominent feature! Success is

choices made by
