@Kristi Kandel I don’t know a lot about roads or to what level you would have to build it to just make it a driveway but I just used ledge pack gravel in an 8 car parking lot and driveway that all in would have been at least 120’ long and in about 60’ two car widths wide and with delivery, cost of the gravel, and cost for the bobcat to spread the materials and pack them down it was all in about $1000.

)  - 60K in cash for downpayment +more for renovations- Strong local connections with contractors of all trades - Ability to get building materials at cost through family/business connections- Have a strong eye for style and design (Tends to lean on the high end of things as that is my business)  - 750+ Credit.

If the copper makes you feel better then use it, plumbers in my area pipe their own houses in pex and only care for copper because they make more on material upcharge and labor to install.As a side note- acidic water breaks down copper, which ingesting can cause health issues, and can cause pinholes in copper piping.

Labor, materials, insurance, interest, local property taxes - yes.

Upon expiration of the 3-year period, you must provide a new Form W-8ECI.If you do not file a form W-8ECI with your property manager, your property manager is REQUIRED by law to withhold 30% of your income from the rental and forward the funds to the IRS.Legal Disclaimer: The material provided here is for informational purposes only and is not intended and should not be considered as legal advice for your particular matter.

This happened to me with a contractor who I paid a materials deposit to and he kept delaying so I told him to pay me the money back which he didn’t have.

.- I have the skill set to do majority of the work - the numbers appear do work well as a STR- the property has sat on the market for a long time (100+ days)- I am assuming material and substrates will cost significantly more then doing the same work in the lower 50 states.- the topics I search on BP appear to all be pre/mid covid, and have some recovery discussions post Irma.

I met the Material Participation requirements that year, and took our taxes to our preparer with the expectation of a refund. 

They (ins co's) wanted our industry (Roofing) to come up with better-longer lasting materials, like Class 4 shingles, so they wouldn't have to pay for replacing shingled roofs so often Fine, it happened. 

That is a very interesting statement, considering the material facts surrounding this transaction, and one could argue that it is disjointed.
