    Offer accepted, into escrow, but still Active?

    This is a typical strategy to get backups. Your agent should have asked the listing agent to change the status after acceptance. As of now, you can simply ask your agent to request the listing agent to change the status.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Asian Tapas in Woodbury Town Center has changed owner. Prices are lower now, and there are 59 items on the lunch special menu. But they no longer offer Hainan chicken over rice which was my favorite there. :-|

    How much am I going to save on TAX???

    The interest you pay on the first year of your mortgage is approximately $300,000 * Interest Rate. You can typically deduct the amount of your mortgage interest (as well as property tax!) from your taxable income. This means you'll save approximate 25% (your tax bracket) of your mortgage...

    Need help and advice

    The rental loss you can deduct is limited to 25,000 if your MAGI is less than 100,000.  Keep in mind that this limit is reduced if your MAGI is between 100,000 to 150,000 and is completely phased out after 150,000.
