Join in on the festivities or hire Avon Barksdale to handle business.

I just finished working the Great American Beer Festival in Denver this weekendI woulndn't put a kegerator in an STR.

I don't know how common this is...but three weeks around Christmas and then the Sundance Film Festival would pay for the expenses for the entire year.  

Martin I have an Airstream that I rent out a few times a year - Austin City Limits Music Festival and SXSW primarily.

So while there isn't anything "wrong" with gym membership, tithing, PG&E, and dental insurance being on there, I'd just be going through and deleting those items early in the process.If curious, I believe the thinking is that while someone in general isn't going to be worse off for paying off a credit card to qualify, we can't have people cancelling or downgrading their health insurance to qualify, or failing to uphold their religious obligations.

Could make a good rental for people coming for the nightlife/festivals and looking to stay outside of Philly.

You don't neeed to be first but it needs to satnd outand draw attention professionaly.Stay away from names that may imply a political or religious view.

At one point in time (before Enron) a CPA was the second most trusted profession in this country, right behind priests, pastors and other religious leaders.  

I do plan on separating personal and business expenses religiously.

Also, see if can see her tax returns say for the last two or three years, or even longer.This one is easier than one case I had where I had to rent to a bunch of nuns of a religious order.
