And it seems that a trip to Gatlinburg, especially with kids, will be more costly than a trip to Waynesville, for example, due to all the entertainment options in and around Gatlinburg.

Of course a trip to new orleans wouldn’t be bad either lol.

If a kid makes one round trip back and forth once every 5 minutes for an hour or two is that excessive?

Through our meetup, I was able to help arrange an investing field trip and we spent the day looking at properties owned by some of our members, along with discussing how the properties were purchased, etc.

Cancel vacation or alter preplanned trips last minute?

Quote from @Jerryll Noorden: Hi Jerryll, I'm going to "Think outside the box" on this one.You must have a high IQ, which always helps, and you must have certain inborn personality traits that allowed you to co-do both the schooling, and the real estate in an effective manner.That makes you more alone on the IQ tail (others are not able to make decisions as quickly or at all faced with the same information).So outside the box--maybe think about if you had not  (paid for--if you paid for) all of that schooling, and instead had embarked on your real estate business at 19 years of age.Not with the hind site you have now, but the foresight of you as a 19 year old.I am going to guess that you would be in similar financial standings as now, or even better.Although without the college, maybe the trip would not have been as satisfying (math can be fun) and if you enjoyed the prestige of being a Rocket Scientist, then nothing can replace that (you have to jump through their school hoops).

Hey guys,Yes, I was traveling for work and a family camping trip in Indiana.

Typically you can fairly easily research any state's standard/requirement on the Internet usually complete with examples of what will and will not trip the requirement to register.  

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

Stop tripping over dollars to save pennies .
