From my understanding, I will initially be spending $1 to save $0.40 but the depreciation deductions in the following years will essentially drive those two values closer together.So in this hypothetical scenario, the most beneficial vehicle would be a 6000>GVW non-passenger work vehicle such as a cargo van.

Essentially the interest costs are about $50 per month, per each $10,000 increment.

I'm sure there's not enough detail in this post without quality pictures to base an opinion off of, but I essentially want to know if the uneven tile is a foretelling of something much larger, and should be avoided altogether, and if an inspector will easily be able to tell me what the cause of the uneven tile is. 

No safety glasses or dust masks.

Essentially we would own half the street, and would have an opportunity to turn this neighborhood around. 

@Christopher Rutherford ok so I take out loan for house+renovation and then bank pays contractor directly and the goal is to have the contractor back pay you essentially?

But you get fairly reasonable people if you offer a clean painted place with newer appliances.Roseville was pretty easy to deal with, normal safety stuff for inspection.

Not as punishment, but as a safety precaution!

Flipping is a business, whereas lending and holding rentals are not, and would not have exposure to UBIT.The 401k loan is an emergency safety valve, or a means to tap a little capital to grow a business you may operate personally when other forms of credit may not be available.  

I essentially reverse-engineered all of this and came back to the amounts I should then be contributing to my retirement accounts and the down payment savings account each pay period.
