I had just attended a seminar and was pitched on a 3 day workshop.

And you get the benefit of having over 100 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

Hey everyone,If one does not form an LLC and still invests in RE continually under their own name can they still write off travel, hotel stays, meals, educational material, seminar attendance costs, purchase of a car, gasoline (fuel), mileage, car repair, parking, office supplies and office equipment, etc.?

I agree it's hard to say which event/"straw" will break the camel's back.

Here is just one of perhaps many previous threads about this group:- https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/207...Here is a brief quote by the original poster there:- "The 3 day workshop was 8 hrs a day and I paid $1799.97 to attend.

Failure is not an event.

Joe, exactly what future events in your investing do you have control over? 

Anyone attending the Jax REIM on Tuesday evening? 

Not a lawyer or anything, so I'm sure someone else can explain more on differences if you have a chance of life event or something, but this is is straight from the 92900B that you will sign in an FHA purchase loan:"Do not falsely certify that a property will be used for your primary residence when you are actually going to use it as a rental property""Penalties for Loan Fraud: Federal laws provide severe penalties for fraud, misrepresentation, or conspiracy to influence wrongly the issuance of mortgage insurance by HUD.

I would recommend attending local real estate meetups in your area and get yourself out there.I wish you the best of luck in your venture
