I pay for MLS (Like you would anyplace), my E and O Insurance (Like you would any place, though unlike MLS this can probably vary a little), and like $200/yr in office dues which I think is pretty cheap.

I doubt any promoters will be enthusiastic about risking tens of thousands of dollars to spin up raises with this black cloud hanging over the industry.  

Is there anything in particular I should be doing to build and promote my business.

I didn't really know much my first auction but i have learned and improved my business e every year. 

on a&e. i learned a lot and took tons of notes. im so fired up about this i have'nt left my computer today!

I guess I should check my e-mail.

House hacking can be pretty complicated from a tax perspective if you've never owned a property before and a competent CPA can pay for themselves by making sure it's all done right the first time.For example, in a triplex (where all units are of equal size), you've got 2/3 of pretty much all of your property expenses that you'll write off on a Schedule E.
