The wife won’t be on board for too many failures..  

Like the BP motto says, "Life isn't meant to be lived in a cubicle" or a passenger plane or car in your case.

I imagine that it will be tough to get traditional financing as college students (presumably) without full-time jobs, so you'll have to find a lender who's on board with your goals and can make it happen.Good luck!

You also need to know that if you abandon ship you don't further damage the ship or the others on board, the ship can be salvaged and usually others too, so don't hinder the situation.

Stuff I initially learned here from guys like JScott, Will Barnard, local mentors, articles, books, and many more here.At the end of the presentation, I told them what I was looking to raise.They looked at each other, smiled, and said "I don't have a problem with that".This morning, I got a phone call from the man I met in the gym 4-5 years ago, of all places, telling me that they're on board and that I can contact my attorney to set up my LLC and draft the paperwork.Needless to say this has been a life changing event.I'm writing this to show everyone, particularly (us) noobies that occurrences like these are possible.

I don't see California being on board with letting you deduct for your own labor.A person can put whatever they want in a lease, but if it contradicts local laws, then it means nothing.

When using the foam board in the stud bays, I think you would seal the corners like you would seal the gaps/seams on the glued on board.

Short term capital gains are taxed at your ordinary rate anyway so this will have no effect; you benefit from it not being a capital transaction(which would disallow mileage and many other deductions).In your situation a work truck may be more appropriate; however, your S-corporation could purchase it and just include the value of your personal miles in your paycheck.By having the corporation purchase the vehicle you will be able to depreciate it: For the first year the maximum for passenger vehicles is: 11,160 For trucks and vans it is 11,360, and for SUVs over 6,000lbs it is 25K.
