Hi Alex,Sorry for my late reply but I was traveling to Belgium that day.I am here like you to meet people in the industry especially based in Barcelona.My expertise/job is  trading/negociation rather than RE.

Posted this in off-topic, but that seems to be the road less traveled...My husband is currently studying Russian at the graduate level and was wondering if anyone on here could provide a good list of accurate RE investing terms and phrases in Russian so he can appropriately talk about the subject.If needs, send me a PM.Thanks a ton!

No one will sell you a general liability policy for less than 10 times the insurance a PA contractor needs, so...As you can see, pretty much the whole Pennsylvania GC registration licensing system is all smoke and mirrors designed to give the public a cheap illusion of confidence in an army of bumbling handymen and to keep a second army of insurance industry lobbyists fat and happy.It's a bit different if you want an electrician's license for the city, and plumbing licenses, yeah, they're the real deal.There is absolutely no conflict between being a PA-registered or Pittsburgh-licensed GC and having a real estate license.

Who do I call first when that smoking deal phone call comes in?

I like having more money for enjoying life, traveling,etc.Some people have a spend to earn ratio of 60% or higher.

I spend a little time answering the typical Airbnb and VRBO requests, then programming my electronic door lock, and making sure cleaners are coming the days they are scheduled for turn overs.I truly want to make this passive, as I am in the Army and I could leave and not have access to my phone. additionally, the long term goal is to make this completely passive so I can travel when I retire.I know there is a cohost feature on Airbnb, and you can hire a company if they are in your area, but I am curious about virtual assistants. 

My day time job demands 50 hours a week and includes travel, so I may be gone for days at a time.

If they had already prepurchased some of the material needed for the repairs and things like smoke detectors, would they normally be able to use it on a different home or would they get upset over it?

This way there are extra funds in case of delays or needed architects plans or city mandated extra work like Wired smoke detectors or running a camera through the drain to the street that was not in the budget or time schedule.

I'm at the point in my life where I would like to enjoy my life with my family and travel and be my own boss and not having to work for  less then I am worth.
