MARK'S TIPS

A message from Dr. Levine:

"For many years I wrote a regular set of Tips for the real estate field. This included tips for those interested in real estate law, real estate tax, and/or related areas. Those interested included attorneys, brokers, CPAs, financial planners, investors, builders, bankers, and others connected with the real estate field. We have decided to continue with such Tips. These are free of charge and we welcome your feedback.

And, yes, all mistakes are mine, even though I have the support and help from many professionals, students and others interested in these areas of real estate and real estate tax.

Best regards,

Mark"
