For more bookings, consider promoting on social media or offering last-minute deals.Regarding ticket partnerships, local attractions or smaller groups might be more flexible than larger platforms like Xplorie.

Also, you don’t need a business license just to look at properties, but if you buy a bigger property, like a multi-family unit, you might need a certificate of occupancy, depending on the local rules.For business trips, most expenses can be deductible, but if it’s part personal and part business, you can only deduct the business portion.

Its always nice to hear positive things about local people. 

My first ad budget was $295.00 credit I got from my local news paper. 

Have you tried calling the local police department, or sheriff's department, or the Texas Rangers depending on where this theft took place.

@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.  

I also recommend a bank that has local branch that you can go into vs having it 100% online.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I also always keep my rent increases in line with the local market, so sometimes I'll have tenants threaten to leave sometimes, and once they do their research they realize that it wouldn't make sense at all to find another property and end up paying the same thing.

So the real answer is do what's comfortable for you and what makes sense based on your own financial position, your age, your desired outcome, and your local market.
