Separately I have a personal umbrella policy.  

@Ryan WasherHey everyone, I'd be interested in attending an in-person or virtual meet up also.

I can assure you that the more you learn regarding these products, the easier it is to help all of your clients.

You’ll put 5% down but get 2% back on sale (which might pay for your closing costs) and then do a rent by the room to cover your expenses and downpayment for next year) Not sure which university you are at but both Henrietta and South Wedge are solid places to start (serving RIT and UR respectively) Good luck, I personally think Rochester is a great area to start due to constrained supply with a growing population

I have from time to time spoken with the city administrator, economic developer, & a person at building planning commission.
