Hello @Rob Gillespie, I don't live near Beaver but In my traveling sprinkler fitter days I spent a lot of time in and around the Pittsburgh area as well as your home state working near Cleveland, Ashtabula (loved it there) and Napoleon at Campbell Soup (never ate canned soup again lol).

You might just as well ask me if the dinner you ate tonight would have tasted better with more salt. 

They let my place get ate up by termites and tried to call it my fault.

I've never met you, but I file a lawsuit right now and claim you ate my dog.

Just make sure you learn the market to a tee and also build a team in the market to help you jump in.Be careful and conservative in your financials!

We rented a bedroom in a house, packed our lunches every day, rarely ate out for dinner, and started a side business of wedding photography to use our skills and free time to bring in money outside of our 9-5 jobs.

And if it is not related to the market cycles then you ate in a bad project and you should try to resolve the issues or again dump the deal and take sone losses. 

Check the FTC's case page periodically.those pleadings are well written.. and basically describe the real estate training and seminar business to a tee. 

Both ate very good for networking and education.

2.Also, when we came up to stay in the location (Ocean City, Maryland) to look for houses and stayed in hotels and ate out can we deduct that as well in "travel" category?
