You should definitely talk to your CPA, which I am not, but...My understanding is that until you actually have a business, meaning a property in services, nothing can be deducted.

If you DM me, I can send suggestions.Yes, you'll want to record the docs after you execute the transaction.Also, don't self-service the loan.

Quote from @Diego Renteria: Dang you were in the recycled fart machine, thanks for your service. what are OOS options?

@Dave Harlan They have an amazing product but your better off using a mortgage broker with a great reputation for customer service because they offer wholesale pricing advantages to their brokers and the only complaints I've ever heard about them have come from service issues on the retail side.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

My goal is to build a business that serves corporate clients; construction and infrastructure development teams,  medical/education faculty,  corporate relocation,  family emergency relocation services,  sports travel/events, corporate and industryand I want to learn from those of you who are doing this successfully and are willing to share actionable ideas for how I can be successful in offering value to these groups.Thank you!!

The contractor can put a lien on the property , he could sue you in small claims court , or in some states have you arrested for theft of services . 

Would love to have a chat about your specific situation to see if I can help be of service to you or point you in the right direction!

Or, the trust (with trustee other than yourself) owns the property with LLC as beneficiary.Costs: LLC registration, annual secretary of state fees, agent for service fees, bookkeeping fees, tax prep fees, attorney fees to unravel structure mistakes, others I can't think of.Also, there are challenges getting title insurance, property insurance and loans for a trust.This is a way to get your name out of public record, no comment on whether it's good or bad. 

Find one that does not have a high-priced long-term monthly contract, flexible pricing, and excellent customer service.
