When exactly do you know when you are ready to start one? I have just started doing AI cases(although have had to quit some as everyone clamms up before I can get all alibis), belong to an agency, have a few contacts...should I have more?

Also was wondering if you purchase a skill from a fraction and for example it says 15 skill points does that mean they take away something that equals 15 points....it takes so long to build them up, I don't want to lose anything I have spent so long getting.

Any help would be appreciated before I start one.

I've done that a lot too, picked a name or picture and asked everyone if they did it. It does work sometimes, lot to be said about a hunch.
It used to always be Nosveli, but he seems to have given up on the life of crime for the most part these days. A lot of times its the only Americanized name in Delhi or Shanghai. I say a lot of times, not always, not worth hazarding a guess over.

I want to start my first VH soon and was wondering about going between cities. Will I use up my cases as I travel on a VH?

Yes. Travel costs are the same on AVH's as they are in regular travel. Of course, the Compact Travel Kit will help deter one case per travel (4 in total on the AVH), so if you are worried about every single case lost by travel, you could take that, but it would take away from other tough/charm/smart gear you could be carrying.
