@Mark Stone No, they are suspended until you have passive income to offset them or you can deduct them when you dispose of the property. 

Hi Brian, You have numerous options and resources to choose from at your disposal.

Daubs, the seller, Daubs Disposal Service and Daubs Landfill, Inc., neglected to pay the individuals who " either, found the buyer, "Brokered" the deal, or both.

It is honestly too hard to tell given I don't know what original site conditions look like, how much dirt has to be moved, are they having to import water to assist in compaction, how much excavated fill will have to be disposed of off site, concrete costs per cy including all fees to deliver, rebar costs, pumping or no pumping, -- looks like you are going to have 2 mobilizations,,,, one for the footing and the second to pour the slab..... there are a lot of variables here..... 

Having recently graduated, I have a minimal amount of capital at my disposal.

I see a lot of owners are emotionally disposed to hold on to their home as a renter but it's normally not the best use of your capital

I assume they would dispose of the Fridge that is in there that we tried to fix

That's $100 a month saved away for a future car that you can pay off with cash - no financing.I can tell you what I would do, though:Sell truck after home refi (lowest I'd take is 21k) - have 4k cash at my disposal after loan is completely paid off.

When they have sufficient water and power and sewage disposal the govt will put mfg in near one of the empty cities .  

Otherwise you'll end up like I did with a bunch of properties contracted at prices realtors list at minus all of the tools realtors have at their disposal to move them.
