Sacramento might be emerging in some cool ways- It's close(ish) to Portland, where I am as well, and has a great culture with reasonable prices.

Then there are other weird issues like QBI (qualified business income) deduction or business interest limitations or Section 179 limitations, and the list goes on and on.In closingAs one contemporary political persona likes to say, I'll circle back.

I have found alot of the VAs are doing it for the lifestyle, where although I have issues with English to some degree it's mostly cultural terminology that is the obstacle but I have people working extra hard to feed their family.  

It's hard to change a business's culture.

The nightlife /food/culture makes it so people want to live in the area etc...

-Culture of the group - this is established by the leader.  

Born and raised in Chitown.I love the culture and the food, especially deep dish pizza (Lou Malnati's and Gino's ftw!)

Hi Nick, I work with Keller Williams Preferred and their culture is amazing.

And lastly but not least, company culture.  

I wonder if that is because of a cultural difference or that I just got lucky.Thanks everyone for your replies.Meanwhile, if there's anyone in Atlanta or Marietta / Cobb County area who can recommend a contractor or would like to partner, let me know.
