I do have a ton of knowledge and experience, but at times have not been able to translate that into financial success.  

If I can translate this into real estate I think I could make REAL money doing it..I have done a lot of residential construction work and even built (with family) the house my mother lives in now from scratch..So I can diagnose real estate and repair real estate, I'm pretty confident in that.. 

I agree with your point that board activity has to be balanced with actual economic activity, but for a lot of us board activity has directly translated into $ and very rewarding connections with BP members both online and offline. 

But there is value of self satisfaction that doesn't have a number attached to it and for her she places a high value on it that may not translate to "smart" move but it's her life to live.

A better translation would be, "It's best to calculate everything."

No papers have been served yet...that airbnb "customer service payment" altered our deadline...so hoping to have this happen in next 48 hours.Will update more soon...

Couldn't that translate to lower property taxes and lower rent and still turn a profit?

I’ll have to mull that over and see how that provides the limited liability protection of the LLC especially since the mortgage is still given in your personal name and how is the LLC not your alter-ego.

The Mayor could veto it, or it could be altered etc. 

I’d get a translator.
