She has a good job at the department of health in the city.

The local tenants tend to move faster but rent per sq ft is much less and when you sell cap rate tends to be higher on resale so less equity.Smaller box spaces they can act within 6 months time or less. 3 months time is more mom and pop or regional type tenant concepts from LOI, to lease execution, build out, getting certificate of occupancy, and starting to pay rent.Having ongoing corporate financial reporting and personal financials will be a key to looking at the health of a business way before they have to give notice to renew the option periods.

I like the idea to get official inspection done (from the City, for example) and present it as a proof that the work was not done or was done incorrectly, or no proof of permits.

I just don't see a 10%+ reduction in overall prices in Nashville in the near future, short of skyrocketing interest rates or the complete nationalization of health care. 

Also consider an HSA health savings account and if when kids come into the picture an ESA.

As far as I know, a sole proprietorship does not have an official date of business start.

It is now under contract for purchase and we are awaiting official closing date. 

I will not develop property unless it cash flows in year 1.(.58 acres with 3,000sqft min per dwelling so 8.42 dwellings or 8)Land Cost: $25,000 ($3,125 per unit) - Hoping this land cost is what gives me an advantageConstruction Costs: $706,270 ($85 psf construction costs) - This isn't a hard quote yet and will be updated once I get it officially quoted.

Not many break, the way we install tile floors.The main benefit of tile for us that Pittsburgh's largest industry is currently health care.

Use a 403b, an IRA, a health savings account, if you have kids CESAs, if married do the same for the spouse.
