Hi Adam,The seller pays the seller commissions and (usually) covers the buyers commissions as well so you shouldn't worry about those fees.The 10% vs 20% I feel like is a personal opinion.

If it pays for itself, it provides you with a "free" place to live during the off-season.

You’re not going to find a safe way to do what you want unless you or the “buyer” has enough cash to pay off the note. 

In my firm, you would probably pay around $3,500 for this tax preparation, including Form 3115.

What you use is what you have to pay back.Cash-Out Refinance Cash-out refinance this gives you cash from the equity you have built up in your home.

One didn't make your list.1) I see people all the time raising money for real estate deals but they call it a partnership either because they are ignorant of the law or they are trying to avoid paying for all the legal work. 

They were simply the king of online bookstores. 

Of course you don't want to over pay for land, but site conditions and construction type will dictate costs....is there underpinning?

How much did you pay for the property?
