A Maine inn for sale that’s ideal for weddings and events…
I seem to be getting more interest from buyers looking for an inn that can also hold events, for anywhere from 50 to 150 attendees. What’s most important is the right size (level) lot and the right zoning. My inn was on a 0.18 acre of land, most of which was taken up by the

Tax Benefits of the Inn Ownership Lifestyle
A common buyer concern when they don’t fully understand the tax benefits of this home based business is “that’s not nearly what I make at my current job”. And they’re right. Let’s face it, most of us work to make money, right? And we hope that we enjoy what we do along the way. But

The BEST tip for clean bathrooms?

Allocation of Assets – Like a Hamburger???
Mt Gay rum, Bacardi light rum, a splash of cranberry, splash of OJ, splash of coconut water, lime juice. Light and tropical! So I used a cocktail for my analogy (because it’s more appealing in a photo than a burger), but the original article referenced a hamburger. The writer attended a presentation where the subject
