You burn the ships when you’ve confirmed you’re in the land of plenty and that’s usually after you’ve secured food, water, and shelter among other necessities.

Note: If you go to the same meeting each month, you can do detail tracking for a month, and can use same detail to estimate expense for rest of the year.( If nothing changed)2) Meals when traveling away from home - 50% is deductible unless the meal is provided to the general public (like Open houses) than it is 100% deductible.

I often had distrust towards hospitals because I never knew what the amount I was going to need to pay would be after going to the hospital; and it always seemed to be hundreds or thousands of dollars more than expected.Thanks to the financial security that real estate can provide, I am in a different financial position now compared to where I was 4 years ago.

Even if you are able to secure a permit, the HOA has the ability to shut you down at their own discretion. 

One other question:How would I then handle security deposits.

Likely $5300 though.Logan square neighborhood: safe, walk able, desirable, close to public transportation, close to restaurants, gyms, etc.

POOF goes any equity and the lender's security is jeopardized.

. :/ safe and secure versus bold and uncomfortable..

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Im also hoping Ill be able to secure a better rate of around 4.65% which will really help the the property cash flow.
