I always hate this response- but- you are buying a job.  

Just initial interest gathering and showing scheduling to follow.

That means that they can't deny an applicant because he seems like a jerk as long as he meets the criteria that the landlord set out when he started the screening process (credit score, income, job stability, etc.).

I was unable to go into the unit and to schedule work for another day.

I have accepted a job offer and will be relocating from Boulder, CO to Oakland /Bay Area. 

I, an only child, quit my writing job in NYC and moved back home to Los Angeles to take care of the both of them.

If you  don't make enough W2 earned income than get a part time job and hyper save for more assets.YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Unless there were overages on the job which need back up, no contractor is going to supply you with an itemized breakdown of all his receipts and materials.

The LLC (being taxed as a partnership), will report the property's gain on its LLC tax return and will issue Schedule K-1's to each partner/member reflecting each partner/member's allocable share of the property's gain.The LLC (again taxed as a partnership), will not actually pay any tax, the LLC partners/members will actually pay the tax on the property gain at their reporting level based upon what was reported to them on their respective K-1's.

Greg,You've done a great job with the numbers.
