You have a life now that you have designed. 

However I'm unclear how such a change will affect the rentals, especially since I have read that rentals should not be held in an S or C corp (my entity would still be an LLC, with an S-corp tax designation). 

The 50% rule wasn't designed for commercial properties but even their there are crude guidelines as to what works.

Matt,Does your $130/sf cost for new construction include soft costs (design, permit, ect)?

The banks were mechanically, robotically, stupid and called even otherwise perfect loans.stephen--------------Originally posted by @Jeremiah B.

Hi folks,I'm designing my website and thinking of ways to set myself apart from the rest.

The other issue is that my HVAC guy said the AC unit (in basement) is too small (3 ton) for the 3000 sqft house per code and need to be replaced but my house inspector said the size of the A/C has more to do with design and planning. 

Even for a building, there is a process of public interest design.  

I actually feel I want to return to a smaller more efficient living space vs constant maintenance, high taxes, and mechanical/structural wear and tear.
