“The governor looks forward to meeting with Nasdaq and showcasing Texas' business-friendly environment, skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and low taxes, all of which foster greater economic growth in the Lone Star State.”According to the Dallas Morning News, the coalition's desire to move out of New Jersey is being driven by a potential tax on financial transactions in the state.https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/lo...

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: I agree 100% with what Taylor said - you will not have as stupid pricing as in some SFR because of uneducated buyers.Also, in commercial non residential you are dealing with other entities and typically have longer lease periods, if you have a major tenant like a walgreens, CVS or law firm, it reduces risk significantlyNot uneducated buyers, they are driven by different emotion than investors.

A.: I think it is a nice move if you have extra things you would like to request or be protected, but normally these channels covers great part of it.

Investors big and small only respond to market conditions, and real estate is very heavily driven by the cost of money and capital markets. 

Keep track of the miles driven during the year for business / personal purposes.Depending on the cost of the truck, you will either be using the mileage approach or the actual approach.
