Hello @Alyssa Dinson,The adage, "Live where you like, but invest where you can make money," is true and remote investing works, if you have an experienced investment team.We’ve run an investor services business in Las Vegas for over 17 years.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

You can deduct legitimate business expenses, such as internet services (e.g., Starlink) and R&D equipment.

They're driving demand.Communities will use that tax revenue to increase the overall appeal by providing more services, improving infrastructure, etc. 

The challenge we're facing is the lack of short term rental data for the appraiser, and we won't know if it will meet the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) requirements until the appraisal is complete.Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?

Do you get any volume discounts or better service due to the volume of your business from the current providers, that might be something to consider. not sure if that is even a thing for lawyers though.

Under IRS Publication 523 for 2023 dated February 2024, I qualify as "Service, Intelligence and Peace Corp Personnel" and for "qualified extended duty" (page 4& 5 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf).

U can check out  ivyridgeestatescanby dot com for my 90 home project in Oregon that I did with my oregon bank and then my website for pictures of homes we built in Charleston SC which is the only market I tagged HML ( lima one) and only one time the rest were done with Ameris bank or Service first bank that is local in the market. its all about the three C's  Character Collateral and capacity..

Provide copies to all parties involved.This project-specific agreement works well for one-time jobs, but if you plan to work with subcontractors regularly, I highly recommend having an attorney draft a Master Services Agreement (MSA) for your business.

Our experience is that many lenders/servicer customer representatives may not know the protections that exist for those that want to put asset protection steps in place.
