Don't hire contractors, who show up in a pressed shirt, can speak both Spanish and English and do zero work but pocket a fat margin.  

@Edgar JimenezI found a call center in Nicaragua with deported Americans who spoke the best English I’ve found for $10 /hour.

Native English and know how to close.

I like the idea of having bonuses as incentives, so it is good to hear that someone is doing that.Do your cold-callers speak English fairly well?

They were subletting rooms to people they didn't even know all while not working, not speaking English and getting every type of government benefit to boot.

Depending on your Japanese level, the most important thing for this may be finding one who speaks English (I communicate with my guy in Japanese).  

You'd likely run into IRS "personal use" rules that may limit how much of the expenses you can deduct and/or the timing of when those deductions could be realized.See:  https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc41A CPA could explain how it would really work in plain English :)EDIT:  If you had 12 of them, lived in each one for 30 days/year, and rented each out at fair market rent for  300+ days per year, sounds like you'd be golden!

We moved office locations from a single-family house in the suburbs of Martinez, GA to an iconic building on 1918 Central Avenue, a former Pure Oil gas station designed to look like an English Tudor cottage.

The hunter/jumper folks tend to do either a house or a hotel and don't really do the camping thing as much as the western folks.Some resources to check out that help provide more context - I highly recommend the Chronicle of the Horse forums (english focused, has forums like BP) and Go HorseShow (western focused, no forums, just articles).

I messaged the Dad today (he doesn't speak much English, so communication is harder) and his message suggested that the daughter had told him, it was done and she didn't have to pay anymore.
