Used PSI last year, they did a bad job, the snow wasn't even bad last year and with several attempts asking them to do better within the terms of the contract, they still sucked. 

That limit has bounced all over the place for the last 50 years and is subject to congress' whims. 

Last two years I averaged $4300 for the season.

I plan to be here often but have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for the last year now, and have consistently been saving to make my first investment this year.

I couldn't attend, but figured it'd be similar to the last listening session.

Lastly, there will be no management fees!

The parent must file a gift tax return annually, and any remaining balance is included in the estate.If the home was your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you may exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 if married filing jointly) of capital gains from taxes.

I don’t mind paying those fees if I can build a solid, long lasting business quickly.I know I can piece together all these things by attending my local REI meetings and making connections there.

Our last deal we engaged a mortgage broker that also brought a Private Equity LP (Limited Partner) to the deal. 

Check out traceestate.com I have been using them and the sourcing company that they incorporated for the last few years.
