I do the same tropes of things in the Tampa Florida market.  

The drying time of such a unit is longer than a conventional electric or gas clothes dryer and many tenants will find it unacceptable.Another option is a front-load "apartment size" washer & dryer.  

@Alexis CanalesYou're in a tough spot because FHA and most conventional lenders require two years of self-employment history, even with strong financials.

My brother-in-law, who owns a landscaping company in Lee’s Summit, works with a lot of local builders and has been a huge help.

The $2,500 payment you proposed is the interest only portion of a 5% loan amortized for 30 years of $600,000 principle.

I second a lot of what has been stated by others in this forum.

The one thing I am unsure about is how earnest money works when you have yet to find a willing buyer to assign the contract to?

Instead of putting energy into trying to make her see things my way, I instead focused on communication around what I was doing and how it was going to help our family reach our big goals.Fast Forward to today, my wife is now very interested in one of our longer term REI goals which is to own and operate a family lake-house.

As a tax professional I would recommend going with a specialized independent attorney.
