Boat US ,,, check this out ,, what a bunch of thieves!
I bought a used boat. Estate sale. Looked easy. But I hired out to
handle the paperwork. There were three executors to the estate, in different states, one of whom regularly was in Europe. Getting a proper bill of sale and all the forms signed by everyone took months. But that was only half the story. Turned out the deceased had bought the boat from factory with a mortgage, that was paid off over a decade ago. But the release from lien form was never filed with the documentation center. And turns out that bank merged with another bank which was bought by another bank which danced on a tabletop with yet another financial conglomerate... Finding out just how and from whom to get a piece of payer the doc center would accept took F-o-r-e-v-e-r! the fee I had paid the company was one of the best bargains I ever got in boating. |

Can't speak from personal experience here. My philosophy is that if you can't pay the full purchase price for your boat in cash at closing, without borrowing, don't buy it. That would limit most of us to a pretty small boat. Pay cash for your house and car too? Debt has its uses. They don't call it "leverage" for nothing. I'm not in expert in this, but I would think that "leverage" is best applied to assets that appreciate, rather than depreciate. Buy a house with 5% down and you win big when the value doubles. Buying a boat with 5% down is a formula for disaster. |

And where is the price of real estate doubling?
That aside, ever try to go cruising in a condo? What if you own a house, take out a small equity loan, buy your dream sailboat, and write off the interest against taxes. Please don't get all IRS on me. I know, you know, the whole world knows that the equity money is SUPPOSE to be spent on the house/property. Did you hear about the yachts that the USA is building in Iraq. Yup, yachts .... it is all part of the rebuilding of Iraq program. ------- "Jeff" wrote in message . ..

But given the interest rate, the tax aspects and what else we could do with the money, it just made no sense to pay it off. The tax aspects are very important, especially if you are in a high $$$ bracket and have few other deductions. The deductions can lower your effective interest rate to somewhere close to the inflation rate, bringing your net cost of funds to near zero. If you have other investment opportunities that yield more, it's a no brainer. If nothing else put the extra cash in the tax sheltered retirement account of your choice. |

: I used to enjoy your postings. You usually had something useful to say. But no more. So sorry you are so narrow minded and blind to the truth. Tell you what, someone just reposted "The Money Masters", a 2-part documentary about the Jew bankers over on alt.binaries.multimedia.documentaries from a terrible conspiracy group called the BBC in England. Toss caution, and pull your head out of the sand long enough to just watch it and its EVIDENCE and its HISTORY. It's very interesting. Most Americans don't even know the government has nothing to do with those paper notes in their pockets, that come from a PRIVATE bank owned by the Jew bankers called the Federal Reserve. The Freemason's "Great Seal" on the back is full of their symbols, put there by FDR, a 32nd degree Freemason, with the help of the Supreme Council 13 blocks N of the White House. It's no coincidence.....take a look! Larry -- Halloween candy left over..... Is there a downside? |

To save you some time hunting for "The Money Masters", the subject lines all start with: (Repost By Req; See Sample File For Intro...) ESSENTIAL Knowledge.... If you don't know how to download and decode them, I'll be glad to enlighten you. You don't have to live in the TV media's propaganda vacuum if you have Usenet.

Clearly, the last few months have not been kind in a lot of areas. That aside, ever try to go cruising in a condo? Yes, my condomaran! But that depreciates. What if you own a house, take out a small equity loan, buy your dream sailboat, and write off the interest against taxes. But how do you pay a mortgage while cruising? |
