          note - 90Tiger MU - 11/30 13:26:10
               50% of that value for the client cost only is deductible if - Spanky KU - 11/30 13:35:21
                    i don't care (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 11/30 13:43:38
               believe me - I know the rules - tigerdb MU - 11/30 13:31:30
                    i wasn't discussing "the rules". the post asked why - 90Tiger MU - 11/30 13:36:44
                         sometimes it is - sometimes it isn't(nm) - tigerdb MU - 11/30 13:40:08
                              no, it's always a business expense. you're stating - 90Tiger MU - 11/30 13:52:15
                                   You're pretty freaking naive(nm) - tigerdb MU - 11/30 13:55:49
                                        yeah, go with that (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 11/30 14:09:15
                                        actually, you are demonstrating that here - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:59:57
                         exactly - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:39:03
          also incorrect - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:24:10
               "write off the cost of doing business" - tigerdb MU - 11/30 13:28:20
                    because it's a negotiating ploy - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:32:11
                         haha - from the author of this rubbish - tigerdb MU - 11/30 13:39:20
                              lol wrong - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:40:35
          RE: Because the mortgage/real estate community has as - scan MU - 11/30 13:22:10
     very simple - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:10:04
          I'd say this answer makes the most sense - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 11/30 13:26:33
               it certainly does go beyond policy - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:30:27
                    RE: it certainly does go beyond policy - scan MU - 11/30 13:35:09

                                   lol no - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:46:41
                                        mortgage interest is not even that big of a cost - meatiger MU - 11/30 14:03:25
                                             perhaps not to you - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 14:04:30
                                                  Like I said below - meatiger MU - 11/30 14:06:21
                                                       no, it wouldn't - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 14:07:13
                                                            Why would it not? - meatiger MU - 11/30 14:12:25
                                                                 investor buyers would have an advantage - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 14:15:58
                                                                      Why should government - meatiger MU - 11/30 14:36:26
                                                                           why should it make a more level playing field? - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 14:52:49
                              A very simple answer... - tigerdb MU - 11/30 13:42:03
                                   because it isn't a cost of doing business - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:43:33
          RE: very simple - scan MU - 11/30 13:17:06
               even more daft - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:21:24

                                   because interest is tax deductible - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:47:52
                                        That has no bearing on it - REITS/ or real estate holding - tigerdb MU - 11/30 13:53:37
                                             that's incorrect, they are already there - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 13:59:17

                                                                                Thanks Junior - it would have been much simpler if you had - tigerdb MU - 11/30 14:36:02
                                                                                     no, you're just admitting you don't understand - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 14:52:10
                                                                                          Are you really this obtuse? - tigerdb MU - 11/30 17:24:34
     Question is phrased incorrectly - raskolnikov MU - 11/30 13:08:54
          Don't supplant your vision for the individual goals of - ummmm MU - 11/30 13:16:43

               NO.. I am correct - Spanky KU - 11/30 14:12:01
                    mortgage interest doesn't pick winners or losers - FootballRefugee MU - 11/30 14:16:49
                         it does - Spanky KU - 11/30 14:35:55
     it's now a lever gubmit can use. there is no rational - 90Tiger MU - 11/30 12:59:00
