Meeting is normally on Thursday nights, occasionally on Tuesdays, and some full day Saturday seminars.

I do them very occasionally maybe one a year..

Be aware that you may occasionally still need to outsource some things to a lawyer for things like eviction notices that you may have questions about the wording on or something.

Your tax advisor is spot on—writing off a luxury car for your short-term rental (STR) demands solid proof of business usage; slapping a logo on the side won't cut it.The IRS lays down strict guidelines: the car must be regularly and exclusively used for business, excluding occasional STR trips or grocery runs.

Adelson's and Sands are basically out of Vegas and looking at Dallas for the worlds largest convention businesses (and gaming).I could name probably another 100 positives for Texas vs most other places in the US for real estate investment.Wind and Hail are some of the negatives and the occasional hurricane, but none of those seem to be stopping the growth.Come on down. 

Does anyone know an agent who wouldn't mind running comps for me occasionally?

My business partner and I own a number of properties throughout the Hudson Valley, some of which we renovate and flip, some of which we're holding long term as rentals.I am looking to develop a relationship with a professional insurance agent that has access and familiarity with a number of surplus lines policies that can cover rental properties, as well as vacant properties and some occasional builder's risk.If you have interest and experience with this, and can handle 20-40 different new purchases a year, please reach out to me.Thanks!
