Well explained example Charlie MacPherson, and great solution suggestion at the end.  

I know there is a solution in between SBA and merchant cash advance, and we could afford the fees average at 10% out the door in 3-4 months (preferably interest only until maturity) is doable (well, we did it with Kabbage.com at ~13% in 6 months).

So what was the solution?

Sal Quintana, Esq.Quintana Law Firm, LLC6860 South Yosemite Court, Suite 2000Centennial, CO 80112***Response****:Sal,Colorado allows landlords to request satisfactory documentary evidence that an animal is needed for emotional support reasons, which my residential leases provide must be a mental health professional's letter that (a) is written by a specific type and quality of professional: active, licensed mental health professional, such as psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist or counselor having a masters in social work, etc. who currently treats tenant on a regular basis; and (b) demonstrates that the determination of tenant's need for the emotional support animal is based upon such professional's treatment of tenant over a period of time.

The driveway slopes down and we should be able to divert the drains from the garage however to anyone’s knowledge is there any solution other than replacing the entire door due to the open crack near the bottom? 

I just thought of a possible half bath solution for the OP. 

(Solution selling.)

Therefore, if you purchased the property just to flip it, then it won't qualify for 1031 exchange treatment.

I will look into the trust solution. 

Well this has been the absolute best tax treatment for us west coast and high value market folks ..
