Will you spend $7K next year on SPG properties? If so, then almost certainly worth it (unless you otherwise need that 7K points). If you won’t spend that much then not worth it

Yea

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?
