Each duplex is 1,560 square feet and each is on a 10,000 sq feet lot of land.

Unless you made an attempt to rent the unit, regardless of how or who classified it as a rental, you were not conducting business and the answer is NO.Filing a return with expense and no income is a BIG RED FLAG to the IRS and you will be audited and classified as  (believe it or not) conducting a hobby :sigh:

It failed inspection and was red-tagged.My plumber said Plumber C is liable, under law, essentially because of the red-tag.  

This would increase the square footage of the house by about 600.

It's 2 bdr 1 bath around 850 square ft condo selling for $60,000.  

If they did, I would push back by occupied the unit with the greatest square footage so the portion allotted to the homestead exemption would increase.

There needs to be specialists in each area of development.....navigating the codes and red tape, efficient design, engineering, low-costs construction, marketing, etc.Anyway, getting shipping container housing accepted into the mainstream is going to be a long road to travel, and I think the first person that makes it will be well compensated for their efforts.Feel free to get in touch with me anytime.

I own it in Center Square Albany Historic District.

It is supposed to be a combination of asset age, amenities and rent per square foot.  

Call a commercial realtor in Indianapolis, get someone else's opinion on the offer and the management of the place.. more red flags pop up every time you give more details...
