Your view of Cuba is a little at odds with Human Rights Watch: http://www.hrw.org/englishwr2k7/docs/2007/01/11/cuba14886.htm%5B/quote%5D

HRW!! They do good work. In my youth, I used to work for them (stateside, unfortunately–or maybe fortunately if you don’t like drunken renegade Serbian paramilitaries shooting at you–or worse, from the female perspective).

Here’s a better bump:

Can anyone with MLS access give us an update on some choice properties in the PB/LJ/UTC area? Any change (for the better for us buyers) since April 08?

That is true–I know a business owner who is a renter with 2 10-year old cars and his business as his main assets. (Maybe he has a 529 for his kid and a 401(k).) It doesn’t make much sense for him to pay the $800 a year to have an LLC, rather he just pays for insurance and, whether or not they hit his limit, he’s pretty-much judgment proof. THey can go after all the personal assets they want and they’ll get about $10k for their trouble–won’t even pay for the lawyer fees. Not to mention that if a plaintiff blows through $1M in insurance, I don’t think a judge would take the business owner’s life away over mere negligence. So forming an entity is not the right choice for everyone.

UNABASHED PLUG FOR PROFESSIONAL COUNSEL: that’s what lawyers and accountants are for–to help you walk down the decision tree on each criteria on whether to form an entity and which is right for your situation.

At the very least, it’s given those of us who missed the boat a nice, group-therapy experience to come commiserate and conjecture about when we should stop toe-dipping and dive in ourselves (i.e., when the bottom truly hits). Enjoy your cottage–wish I had pushed the hubby into buying that cute little cottage back in ’98 for only $450k (that now goes for nearly twice that). But you can’t change the past….
