Hey @Matt Oberski, VA's are a very affordable solution to getting your time back and focusing on the income-producing tasks in your business.

@Whitney Hutten Thanks for the feedback.

@Whitney Hutten Thank you!

(There are services that will write and produce them if you lack the skills or time and advertising often will make it profitable.)Moving out older and smaller homes and replacing them with new and larger homes that are more attractive to higher income buyers and residents is always the primary strategy, unless you have a special market situation.

waste of time. further since your hubby is a self made millionare then I suspect like others said your social circle will be well off folks who own expensive homes.. you become a realtor and start listing their homes.. and selling them homes.. much better shelf life .. wholesaling is very intensive and hard to do.. you get on a top producer team and you will make money while you learn..

For ski areas, you may experience a hotter winter than expected which means not only will it not snow, but the resorts wont be able to produce fake snow either.
