Say I want to buy a property to operate it as a STR (with material participation avg < 7days stay).If I travel to the beach to see some properties I am interested in, am I allowed to deduct the travel, stay, meals as expenses?

Sometimes, though, it can feel a bit frustrating when you see people in your own network making decisions that, well, could be a little more strategic.

It sounds like you’re building a strong foundation to not only find promising deals but also make confident, informed decisions along the way.We’re thrilled to have you as part of the community and can’t wait to see the projects you take on.

Even with the use of contractors, it is work managing the contractors and making various decisions.  2) value adds have risks.  

I imagine your ability to find a buyer to assume your mortgage will be there for a long time, so there's no need to make a decision right now.

Supposedly Don is the only decision maker however you can never talk directly to Don.

This is my first time considering Section 8 so I’m doing my due diligence in making a decision.

I have quotes from some of the bigger names (Progressive, Farmers, Liberty), but curious if there are any others I should take a look at before making a decision.

A house-hack is 99 times out of a 100 going to be a better financial decision than renting / buying a single family home - focus on finding a property in an area you like that is in general good condition. 

Everyone knows it when they see it, and nobody wants to deal with it because you can't tell someone fragile that they are making a wrong real estate decision.
