I had 20 employees. by 2011 I had 2 and we disbanded what I am proud of though is no lender took a short sale from me..

If a company provides a specific uniform that must be worn by all employees on a job, then it probably is a legitimate business expense.

I work for General Dynamics Electric Boat which has decades long contracts with the US government and the turnover rate is relatively high in the company so my thoughts are if I could choose a place that is within commute distance there and within the price range of the average employee that maybe that could be a great idea but I want to know if people think that is too much of an assumption and risk to make?

To be clear, I will keep working but want to be self employeed in the home services business.Looking forward to see what I can learn from this community.Thank you.

Too new for results, yet feel pretty comfortable, after meeting some of the employees, and meeting Janet, all are very genuine and are appreciative, not pompous. 

The property is now valuing minimum at 365K via Zillow, HAR, and in the 400's with CreditKarma, with identical / neighboring units selling +$20,000.00 more than those estimates. 

From my experience with long-term rentals, relying too much on transient tenant flows like students or short-term employees can be risky.

@Scott TrenchOnly thing I can think of is He just recorded a video on YouTube that discussed a former employee of bigger pockets and had some criticisms.

Unless you then hire them as your legal employees and pay their Worker's Comp, Etc....
