Why doesn't travel time count toward utilization. I wouldn't be going to the client site if I wasn't working for the client. Also is the minimum work hrs during non-busy season 45hrs?

Charge it to the client code and then it does. Travel should be considered in the contract and acceptable. If not your getting shafted. Los must differ our min hours for 100 percent is 50 during busy season

It’s still supposed to be 40 hours but I guess it depends on budget. I’d ask if the budget is created for a 40 or 45 hour work week for the client. I know they’re trying to move toward 45 but pretty sure it’s still 40. If it was 45, I’m expecting a pay bump in the near future. Traveling doesn’t count toward utilization cause it is an internal code

It depends on the office but we’re only allowed to charge travel time > 1 hr, one way. The explanation I’ve heard is that 1 hr of travel is a realistic expectation for someone to commute for their job. I still think it’s bs because if I work on a client that’s an hour away, I essentially lose 2 hours of potential charge time and have to make that up somehow. Also, IME, there is no “minimum” work hours during non-busy season but the expectation (aka unspoken rule aka you’re on someone’s list if you don’t do it) is that you meet your charge goal. If that means you work 45+ hours to hit that goal in any given week, then that is the “expectation”.

For us, every project has a travel code. It uses a 50% discounted rate

Agree with @PwC2, at least within our firm traveling inside of normal business hours is charged to the client. Outside of those hours, it's charged to Excess Travel.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
