Real Estate Financing and Investing
I've now uploaded the first page and the first four chapters; I'll be adding more chapters as I get time during the day. They are quick, but I do have my day job ... stay tuned. Chazz (talk) 18:37, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The book is now completely uploaded and ready for ongoing work.
 * I made a few changes as I uploaded, I hope you don't mind: correcting obvious typos, and adding a warning that it is only in the US that mortgage interest on the primary residence(s) is a tax credit. I'm in Canada, and interest on the primary residence (of which there can be only one) does not offset your tax obligation here, though, as in the States, capital gain on your principal residence is not taxable. (E.g. I bought my house for $190,000; if I sell it for $500,000 the $310,000 difference is not taxable. Though of course I would almost certainly immediately spend that $500,000 on a new house.)
 * Have fun, and happy editing. Chazz (talk) 21:08, 26 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much Chazz. I would not have been able to do this by myself! The book was originally written for people in the US, but thanks for editing that so it is clear for people everywhere to read.SarahPats (discuss • contribs) 21:24, 2 February 2011 (UTC)SarahPats
 * Glad I could help... I would have done a bit more, but this is a subject on which I am far from being an authority. Chazz (talk) 00:07, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
