Also Home Depot has more extensive and smaller stores, if you have a small store Lowes can be a more useful trip. don't forget your local stores Lowes and HD are not always the best choice and one day they may be your only choice.

I wanted to go on the bus tour this weekend but my son has a banquet that starts early afternoon.  

If you want to come to KC to check out the market, I would plan a trip around the 2nd Tuesdsay - you will find quite a few turn key providers at MAREI.org on the business directory as well as in their intro to KC Magazine posted on their home page.Past that, if you come to the MAREI meeting there will be over 100 local people to ask questions and build your team.  

Hi, I was hoping someone could tell me weather or not it would be possible to write off a trip?

In fact, I operate rentals, and at one point, some active businesses and liability is the MOST important.When you have rentals and businesses, you have people suing you, for whatever reason,  from scammers, to clumsy old ladies for trips and falls outside your building to tenants having a break-in  and blaming you for negligence. 

To some people that is ridiculous but we take 3.5 hour trips almost every month to VA just for leisure so for us it is nothing.

Less scrupulous lenders may slip in "exit fees", "prepayment penalties", and all manners of covenants that may look innocuous until you trip one.    

After a recent work trip, I am feeling more motivated to figure out real estate.Definitely! 

I would sell it and get a beater with no payment, or sell it and have a home and ride the bus.

I'm actually taking my first trip back home in 5 years tomorrow after I'm done working!
