Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain October 30 to November 5, 2022

  

Every day there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I try to highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

MichaelOctober 30: Michael Jacobs Nearly November...

Michael has inspired all of us to let our minds wander and ponder. His pondering led to this and I was so excited to see his Master Cylinder Halloween costume. Thank you, Michael's mom, for saving the photo.

Good morning Kathy. Got off to a slow start but caught up a little at the end. Still, missed more than I caught the first time around. Thanks for the weekly reminder of how vast the Rain is. Enjoy your day.

Hi Kathy,

Happy 1st day of Standard Time!  and Congratulations to the World Series Champions.  I am sure you are pleased.  What a way to start off Sunday. 

I am not sure which one I am going to choose first.  I guess I will start off with the Apple ID scam!

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I woke up this morning and tried to figure out what time it was! LOL And so excited for the Astros!!!

you are very welcome Jeff Dowler, CRS I consulted on a property once and the agent mentioned that buyers looking at it as a rental property had to know that it was not allowed in that complex but for 1 week a year. 

Nov 06, 2022 06:58 PM
Jeff Dowler, CRS

It's a key issue whether you are buying an investment property (for short term rentals) or a vacation home. Others buying may be concerned about a large number of rentals in the community.
