We look forward to your contributions here.

Just to be equally critical of both parties, and make everyone mad, here are two examples: - Imposing tariffs on China absolutely contributes to inflation in many consumer goods. - Giving first time homebuyers $25,000 absolutely contributes to housing price inflationGetting some conservatives running for office to change their mind on the first point ain't gonna happen.

As Gino noted, if you buy a lot in cash, that can often be contributed as equity in the deal for the loan, but depending on the value and LTV ratios including your current mortgages on the existing properties, you may have very little equity available to tap into from a refi/HELOC.It has been a while, but the construction loans I have been quoted have been 80% LTV of after construction value, capped at 80% of actual cost.  

That should be contributing towards your income.

-One of the cheaper options I have found is TaxAct Business ($140 + states), and TurboTax Small Business ($739 + states).The issue I am potentially running into, and I am not sure if the online software's mentioned above can handle (they won't tell me unless I pay for advice), is figuring out how to make sure the losses/initial capital contributions are reflected on my K-1 and not my business partner, since I made 100% of the contribution.
