I stopped using coupons, but I did win a $50 gift card at our tradeshow. Do I have to report that?

2016 bpos las year...

total income this with sales, rentals and such--maybe 150-175k...
that is with my wife of course! there are some losses but i also gained 100k this year in my house so i guess it is all subjective!
about 1/2 what i did with flat fees.

what i am really amazed at though is how much many do make doing bpos..

for the average american--6 figures is a heck of lot of money...
i do remember the time i would have killed for 1/2 of that..
but i am just a po-boy from Indiana--where my mom has never made more then the low 20's.
i doubt that 80% of realtors break 30k. i do not think most americans make much more than 30k--

unless you are in poli-tricks of course--then you really get paid!hehe
good luck in 2011--home we all stay busy~

well, your fully understanding capitalistic math ignores the power of leverage, in your simplistic return calculation. This is inexcusable for anyone in real estate. uncommon success is more about identifying opportunities and staying ahead of the curve. Using economics terminology, this allows ABNORMAL profits. I would consider a 10% return a waste of my time and capital in business ventures. If you're content to take the leftovers the big players in the industry throw you...fine...I'm not.

Spoken like an agent with 9 active listings.
And the last to lines of my prior post remain.

Dont bother listening to her. Nobody else does.

Oprah listened. I agree, I let myself get baited.

anyone here can get 10-12 and even 15% on their money all day long.
if you are in real estate and have cash--hard money lending cannot be beat. a lot of solid guys are always looking for investors-but be careful, there are scammers.
i have guys doing very well and are very happy with that return.

one guy get his 12% and loves it..

for every 100k you get 12000 a year..
1 million?--just sit back and collect 120k minus taxes a year..
if i can stop making bad investments (mostly by paying dillweeds for crappy work)--i hope to make that my 'retirment' goal--
just fyi--
long term Plan C?

Since this is an RE forum what did you make in RE in 2010? Also, if you made 2.2 mil in 2010 why are you posting here and not on a beach somewhere? Also, since this was offshore income please give me your contact info as the IRS gives a 10% reward to those who report tax fraud.

Is "on the beach" and "I'm beached" not one of the same?....seems fitting.

Who kicked the rock she was hiding under???

TB.......

If you convert all of your money to pennies you can get a 300% return immediately, free of charge. You just need a place to store them. And shopping is a pain.

I forgot to add that your investment will never fall below it's face value.

Are those great terms or what?

Don't forget to get the pre 1980 ish ones. After then they took out more of the copper.

No fooling.

i forgot to mention the Glenn Beck -invest in Gold and guns program...

for those of a more 'evangelical' nature--never mind the whole false prophet/golden calf parables that heed an obvious warning to todays political environment---i see little chance of anyone getting through those golen gates anyway!! i have met few people who were not consumed with money and worthles crap--

so-BUY GOLD---you are not going to heaven any way....


maybe someone should tell FOX about the pennies thing---some people will 'buy anything'....

1099 reporting actually requires this, whether or not it is income or reimbursement. But on your own books, you would show that "income" offset by the expenses incurred for the preservation tasks. Should net to zero, meaning not actual tax liability if you have kept your books correctly.
