Two months ago a guy showed up at my office with a truck full of family and a large trailer full of belongings.

The two most common alternatives that our clients will use are1.

Better than the alternative of having a line of credit at 12%, the 2-3% hit in spread is lower than a 5% increase in cost of capital in my opinion.

The boys anyway just need a few tiny or mobile homes with a couple shops they can work on their cars, trucks and motorbikes. 

Can I write off BOTH the moving truck that I will hire AND my entire cross-country road trip (hotels, meals, supplies, etc.) to get my car there?

Any better alternatives?

This one just told me it can't be done and didn't offer any alternatives.

And then meet the trucks on delivery day and take responsibility for counting, measuring, signing for the materials?

Condo Heloc could be difficult with recently being listed for sale..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo he's a South FLA based lender and they have DSCR and alternative income bank statement second position programs..they also do mixed use and 5+ units commercial lending.
