@Ethan Piani having that much money at 24 saved up is amazing!

Can these be tax write offs (home office, phone, car expenses, etc) even though I won't technically be making money for some time until everything is completely built and leased?

You have bills to pay and if they promise you your money by a certain time each month, then you should be getting it.

Money is good, consistently pull-in say $150-$200k although being extremely busy with very long hours.

If the mortgage is not paid the first position mortgage gets 100% of their money before the 2nd mortgage/HELOC sees a penny.

There are several apps that will report credit lines to your credit report without getting you into debt.One is called "Self": You sign up for $25 a month for 24 months, it reports to your credit as an installment loan... the kicker is that after the 24 months they give you back most of the money that you paid in.

He is also willing to furnish a letter from his US brokerage firm to prove he has ample funds to cover for rent and expenses.What would you do?

When we loan money, we are betting on the person we gave the money to.

If the agent won't give you the money back, talk to their broker and then go up the ladder from there.

Have the money ready.2.
