Real Estate Rental – Why Investors Should Invest In Real Estate Rentals; my home insurance company is terminating my policy because I need a new roof?

www.REIClub.com – Why Is a Real Estate Rental A Good Investment In A Down Market? Here’s Why Real Estate Rentals Are A Good Option For Real Estate Investors… Current Real Estate Rental Market Sources from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac expect the total number of renters households to increase by another 4.4 million in the next few years, from the already 37million.

Question by Sky I: my home insurance company is terminating my policy because I need a new roof?
My home insurance company sent me a letter saying they are going to terminate my policy in few weeks because the roof is worn and needs to be replaced, but I bought my house a year ago and it passed inspection and my inspection paper says i have 3 to 5 more years left on my roof so i don’t understand why or how my home insurance company can just terminate my policy. By the way the home insurance company is TRAVELERS if that helps.

Michael Hudson: GOP Cries Wolf on Debt Ceiling In Order To Impose Radical Pro-Rich Agenda; How much of my take-home income should go to rent?

DemocracyNow.org – President Obama and Republican House speaker John Boehner are allegedly close to a trillion deficit-reduction package as part of a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling before an Aug. 2 deadline. But the deal is coming under fire from both Congressional Democrats and Republicans — part of it calls for lowering personal and corporate income tax rates, while eliminating or reducing an array of popular tax breaks, such as the deduction for home mortgage interest. Some Democratic lawmakers expressed outrage on Thursday because the Obama-Boehner agreement appears to violate their pledge not to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits as well as Obama’s promise not to make deep cuts in programs for the poor without extracting some tax concessions from the rich. Democracy Now! interviews economist Michael Hudson, President of the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends, a Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and author of “Super-Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire.” For the complete transcript, to download the audio/video podcast, and to see more Democracy Now! reports about the debt debate and global financial crisis, visit www.democracynow.org.
