The goal is to exchange time, not money, for the items I’m looking for. However I’m concerned that I might be breaking some rules or may need to be taxed for such trades. Is this the case? Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

Yes. Nothing wrong with paying taxes as it means your business is making money.

Trade for business related expenses and you can write them off. Such as flyers, business cards, advertising, accounting…the list goes on for people that need web services.

Here’s a link on the legalities of bartering.
Good luck!

I want to buy residential rental properties in the Phoenix, AZ area with 40% down. I would prefer to do so without a PG if possible. If impossible, or significantly better terms are available with a PG, I’m open to it. Would like 30 year fixed loans (conforming loan amounts). Any feedback is appreciated.

You probably won’t find anyone who will do the loan without it being guaranteed personally unless it is a portfolio program and those are usually ARM’s and then the LLC would have to have established credit and income to be able to qualify for the loan by itself. World Savings used to do these loans. I don’t know if Wachovia is continuing with that program or not. They used to do it, but usually it required a personal guarantee.

You might check with WAMU, too.

I don’t believe that freddie and fannie will allow a property to be vested in an LLC. They certainly won’t allow the LLC to be the borrower.

What about putting the properties in a trust? That could work with agency programs although you are still the borrower and the trust would have to be approved. Just a thought.

Good luck.

What are some examples of modern day oppression?

I know of women, and human trafficking…

Would the oppression of Jews in some cities be counted as one?

Do you have any other examples?
How can they be tied in to slavery in America in the 1800’s?

Dole Qs.

What brand too if you have any in mind.

I like using either vellum (the textured side rather than the smooth) or special charcoal pads. You can both at Michael’s or other general craft stores. Anything with a bit of tooth to it will give you a good texture and grip.

How about one of the Bruce and Charlotte scenes from Beyond Therapy by Christopher Durang?

Corporations: Coca-Cola, Colgate, Procter & Gamble, all Ministries.
How can the artist become favorite of the corporations and goverment?

Governments adopt Committees and a panel selection process. THey may pay little to hire them; in fact teh artist simply gets teh publicity.

Private companies simply use artists who are famous, and have already made an impact /staement by their works. They may pay large sums to hire them.
