I hope I'm proved wrong, but the longterm viability of Reno, which is based on entertainment, is in major peril.Toby: Scout out areas outside of the bay area first, then think about exploring out of state.

Generally meals and entertainment is 50% deductible but if it is something available to the general public it can be 100% deductible.

A judge may be entertained by your letter and an attorney might benefit from the money you paid but i think it would stop there.

Nothing a 300 a year umbrella insurance policy would not cover the average person instead of setting up these expensive and elaborate schemes.I do agree that the people that make the most money providing the direct mail are the direct mail companies... just like those that got rich in the Gold rush it was those that provided the pans shovels and entertainment.

The neighborhood looks to be up and coming as I go there a lot for entertainment as well as dates with girls.If I had the money, I'd jump on it but I dont have a 20% down payment.

You could go as simple as a smart electric heater that looks like a small fireplace Home Depot and even Walmart will have them hitting the shelves about now and could even double as a small entertainment center for probably less than $150.

That's the way to build powerful relationships.Like you, I am living in Los Angeles (and was in the entertainment field as "talent") but I focus on investing out of state for the 3x cash flow and reasonable cost of real estate.

S-Corp will then pay for mileage, telephone, office supplies, Bigger Pockets Pro Membership, meals and entertainment, advertising, etc our of the funds received for management fees.6.  

Bored people make up outrageous stories to entertain themselves.
