Partnering with others can help you scale your business and access greater resources.

I would focus on being an agent and building that business.

My business still needs to sustain itself.  

Seems to me my “permanent note portfolio is basically a passive investment, while my variable note portfolio is somewhere between business and investment.  

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I will be able to log the 50% time of business use.

just know they have completely different business models was my point where the HML are usually getting payoffs constantly and the note guys they need to foreclose to liquidate which is much more involved.. although i suspect they do get payoffs too.  

All the other real estate in my businesses are counted as assets minus the debt liabilities for net worth purposes and the business income that comes to me is counted as part of my personal income.

Also, consider who you’re hosting, is it families, business travelers, or medical professionals?

Are you able to get a partner involved?
