I would really like to do whatever possible to minimize my tax liability and overall AGI in the short-term with the idea of being better equipped later in life.

This is obviously an extremely complicated topic that involves the intersection of private, government, and public interests.At the end of the day I don't believe that investors themselves are well equipped to solve this problem.

You are now well equipped, at least, mentally, to jump in. 

You need to buy some kitchen equipment, one or two of the good basic cookbooks like "The Joy of Cooking" or Bittman's "How to Cook Everything," and build a sustainable repertoire of 10-15 cheap, healthy dinners with a few variations each that you can put together easily and quickly.Better for your pocket, better for your mental health because it will help ground you, better for your love life because smart, capable people appreciate personal cooking skills in others.The top three expenses of the American household, as @Scott Trench's book taught me, are housing, transportation, and food.

I know that I’ve written insurance for contractors before with $5,000 coverage for miscellaneous tools and equipment.

The doctors need the high incomes to pay back lots of schooling years, student debt, and medical practice equipment.

(I had a situation where I was not getting enough air from my equipment at a deep depth, and it caused my body to hyperventilate, which further didn't help my situation but I obviously made it out fine.)I really look forward to seeing Alaska this year finally.

Possibly could work out to also sell off grid equipment and parts, but first want to get the cabins up and running.

Yes and No... here's whyYes - if you feel confident in moving forward with this on your own and you know how to correctly fill out a RPA as well as moving the deal forward so you don't miss your close of escrow, go right ahead.No - You likely are not equipped with the skills to make the deal close on time and will leave things out that are essential to 1 - stay compliant with local and federal regulations, and 2 - there's a good chance you will fill out the required documentation incorrectly, which will make you fall out of escrow.I recommend you trust the agent you hire - also, the seller's side pays their commission - not you.

I recently relocated to the Philadelphia area about a year ago for my job as an outside sales rep, for an industrial equipment sales and service provider.
