  Policies, Payments & Pilots

  Dear Members, I hope that those of you with kids in school had a smooth "back to school" transition.  I decided to wrap up the summer with a good old fashioned "summer cold." Ugh.  I have a couple of things to mention this week.  But before I get into some business related info, the storm on the west coast reminded me that hurricane season is here.  Don't forget there is a second sales tax holiday coming up to help with the purchase of storm-related supplies.  It runs from August 26 through September 8.  The Department of Revenue has an informative flyer with some FAQs. https://www.thefund.com/info/pdf/disaster-preparedness-sales-tax-holiday-2023.pdf

  Foreign Interests FAQs for You & Quiet Title Forms for Non-Lawyers

  Dear Members, I have a friend who is on a three week trip to very exotic places in remote areas of the world.  I am in awe of his energy and curiosity about the world.  But was really impressed when I learned that he is doing it ALL ON POINTS!  He is a points master-mind.  I looked at the app he uses and was immediately overwhelmed with the time it seemed to take to manage this.  I was reminded of a much simpler way to save money:  the Back to School Sales Tax Holiday!  Lots of ways to save money starting July 24.  Here is a link to a flyer from the State. https://www.thefund.com/info-center/pdf/back-to-school-sales-tax-holiday-2023.pdf
