I'll start moving forward on the action steps you suggested.

It's amazing to get up close to the action of closing and making deals.

Things will work out with hard work, action, and surrounding myself with people I respect.

Especially in a crazy market like we're experiencing now.So, I've broken down, at a high level, the 12 steps to follow if you really want to get straight to your first/next deal.WARNING: This list is for action takers only!

If the tenant does not take action and contact me to prepare the renewal then the rate automatically goes month to month. 

(No, I don’t expect a direct enforcement action.)

It wouldn't surprise me if almost everyone delivering the news or hosting a show gets that kind of deduction if it is not provided for by the contract with the studio.  

In looking at what the effort will be, we aren’t sure if we will need to pay for a class or do more research independently which has sort of halted us in taking action.

However, I feel that I have been waiting for too long to take action using the excuse of “I don’t know enough yet”.

There’s good news regarding your dream to open a Chicago area sober living home is that you would not be the first to do so, & there are literally hundreds of smaller mom & pop style SLH’s in the area that are currently operating & would be more than willing to help guide you through the process so you don’t have to go at it alone (now I sound like a sponsor), also there are numerous Federal, State, City, County, & private grants, benefits, & tax deductions you can receive to help you get started & operating.
