Hi Folks,

I'm writing up a story for MRM on the prospects for the
restaurant industry for 2021, with a particular focus on
insurance issues. We'd need these questions answered for the

1. What are the prospects for the U.S. restaurant industry for
2021 - and why? Do you see a rebound for the sector, even with
COVID still hanging around?

2. What about insurance impact? Can insurance come into play if
the pandemic still keeps restaurants closed or limited? What
insurance do restaurant and bar owners need to help mitigate any
more damage from lockdowns?

3. What are your thoughts on business interruption policies,
workers compensation and liability issues, all with the backdrop
of the ongoing COVID crisis and the slowly but hopefully surely
vaccine rollout?

4. What are your predictions for the restaurant sector in 2021?
Light at the end of the tunnel or more closing and collapse?

Thanks in advance!

This is an article to help people working remotely better
understand the current tax laws and what they can do to avoid
paying any penalties to the IRS. As you may know, many people
are taking advantage of the COVID period to travel, which means

actually might be working/living in another. I'm seeking
several tax experts who can answer these questions about remote
work via EMAIL only by tomorrow Wednesday 1/13, 10am EST. Please
remember to include your full name and a brief bio. QUESTIONS
1. At what point does working in a place (other than the state
where you pay taxes) become a problem? Is this determined based
on time, income, or something else? Is this more of a problem
for full time workers, freelancers, or both? 2. Please explain
what "creating a nexus" means, and how it can impact the
business you work for. 3. Can you briefly explain the current
tax laws around "dual residency"? What's the difference between
"domicile" and "residency"? When does double taxation come into
play? 4. Some states are notoriously more aggressive about
taxation than others. How can people find out if their state is
one of them? 5. When is it appropriate to make "home office
deductions" and why can't W2 workers make them? 6. Any advice
for people working remotely (mistakes to avoid etc.) when filing
their taxes this year? 7. Any final bit of advice for people
working remotely (out of their state) who are concerned about
encountering tax penalties?

Requirements:

I'm seeking several tax experts who can answer these questions

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-brv9@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: LoopNet

Deadline: 9:00 PM EST - 14 January

Query:

Hi, I'm looking to chat with some real estate investors about
investing in single family/residential properties as a way to
generate income for their portfolio. This is more of an how to
piece versus deep industry depth, so having practical experience
in doing this would make you a fantastic candidate.

Here's some of the gist of what I am looking to cover:

* The basics on getting started * What are the fundamentals for
evaluating a property before purchasing * How do you approach
property management? * What sort of insurance or business
considerations (i.e. do you get an LLC) do you need to think
about * Best advice on getting financing * Major common mistakes
new investors make.

For housing market experts, I'd like to get some quotes on the
current state of the single-family housing market, including
economic factors, demographic trends, rental demand. How these
have been impacted by the pandemic and what are predictions
going forward.

Please feel free to reach out with your comments and any
questions.

Requirements:

I'd like to get answers from at least two experts from my story.

So people who are current investors who have done this or
experts in housing will move to the front of the line.

Thank you!

For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.

entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),

procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.

40) Summary: Best Way To Invest 100K

Name: Taylor Townsend FortuneBuilders.com

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bs3h@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: FortuneBuilders.com

Deadline: 2:00 PM PST - 14 January

Query:

I am seeking to write an article which identifies several
promising investment vehicles. The idea isn't to provide a
single strategy, but rather a number of options which investors
may choose from. The article will help new investors identify
their own goals, and the subsequent investment strategy which
will help them meet them. Everyone's needs are different, and
my goal will be to direct investors down the most efficient path.

I am looking for an expert's opinion on a number of topics: If
investors don't yet have $100,000 to invest, which is the best
investment strategy to start with? How can investors with
minimal expendable cash build up enough money to start investing
$100,000? Is it better to invest all of the money in a single
strategy (real estate investing, stocks, etc.), or diversify?
Which strategy is best for those with longer investment
horizons? Which investment strategy is best for those on the
verge of retirement? Which investment strategy offers the best
tax incentives? What's your personal favorite investment
strategy?

Requirements:

Looking for responses from investors or anyone with experience
in a particular type of investing. Any advice you have on the
topic would be greatly appreciated.
