That's why I was leaning to foreclosures so I can do full cash (heloc) purchase.The other part I need to get more fluent in is how to document all of those action items in the LLC to keep the corporate veil. 

Generally, only 1 or 2 years of  business and personal tax returns (depends on how long your business has been around) should be the only additional docs needed for most self employed vs W-2 wage earners.and the items mentioned above are not relevant for a qualified borrowers (and some are down right incorrect). 

Depreciation is going to still be offsetting cash flow quite a bit - when you accelerate depreciation, it doesn't technically do absolutely every depreciation item in year one, so there still is going to be quite a bit of depreciation to offset your cash flow.On top of all of this, the tax benefits largely are going to come in year one to offset your income.

As a GC I can advise try to retain control of your finishing material orders (anything where you need to make a choice ((tile, flooring, lites, faucets, tubs)) vs. construction materials (2x4s, mortar, shingles)) because we get those discounts on the finishing items and we keep them!

If we could use the other items I listed, we are right there.

Have you ever overlooked a major item that needed replacing?

The only items affecting capital gains are basis and expenses of sale. 

I just hate paying retail because then you have no equity capture from the get go. 

Furthermore, during the rental period, expenses like repairs and insurance were deductible, but these deductions end when the property becomes a primary residence, with only mortgage interest and property taxes potentially deductible as itemized deductions.In short, converting a rental property into a personal residence can provide some tax advantages, but you’ll need to account for taxes on both the depreciation and the portion of the gain from the rental period when you eventually sell the home.

The ILA is North America’s largest longshoremen’s union, with roughly 50,000 of its 85,000 members making good on the threat to strike at 14 major ports subject to a just-expired master contract with the United States Maritime Alliance, or USMX, and picketing workers beginning to appear at ports.I have been reading that if the strike drags on, we can expect some shortages on perishable items that the US imports.One of those is bananas; the US imports 100% of its supply.
