The indexed value of flat sale price on which tax is payable, comes to Rs.1600000. I want to invest about 10 lakhs in real estate and pay capital gains tax of 20% on balance 600000. Can I do this?

I do not believe that India has any rules allowing the avoidance or deferral of capital gains taxes on the sale of real estate, by fully or partially reinvesting the proceeds of that sale. However, here are some website with link to various sections of the Indian tax code, that may help you answer your questions:

I am trying to buy a house and would like to choose a realtor. what options should I consider in choosing a realtor. I have no friends who are realtors. I have a few recommendations. But how would I narrow the ONE. Are there websites that rate the realtors? Like CNEt for electronics or rate my professors for professors, are there any websites with the realestate agent reviews or rating. Any tips in helping choose a realtor is greatly appreciated.
I am looking for one in grand rapids michigan.

There are no sites that rate realtors.

I would pick a realtor and use them a day BEFORE you sign a buyer broker agreement. OR sign the buyer agreement for a one day period only.

Treat the one day they take you out as a job interview. Did they ask you questions about what you want in a home, area, price, etc. And then did they show you want you wanted and explain the questions you had.

can i use it and post it on craiglist, if so what section is supose to be on, is it realestate by broker.

You cannot post MLS listings from other agents/brokers without their permission. If you get permission you would post it under the for sale by broker section.

Here are a couple of email addresses to get you started. Send them a short message that you want their fliers on their offerings on where to invest.
