Plus with auctions you need essentially cash from my understanding.  

It helps you build credibility with other professionals (you know HML, Contractors Etc.)In AZ I learned from my CPA that from the founding of my LLC I can write off my entire cell phone and internet bills at home as they are essential in my home based business of real estate investing, without the LLC I was only allowed to write off the percentage portion based on the square footage designation I gave to my home office space, that is 10% in my case, which I still can use to write off part of my electric and mortgage payments since it is still used as home office.You can start building your brand now, rather than waiting and hoping that no one takes your company name/idea...

(I would advise if the answer is yes to make sure no viscous breeds are allowed and also get an extra security deposit and possibly extra monthly rent.)Also, something that helped us that you might want to consider is for your credit check is that the score matters, but we look deeper than the score if there are things that come up (and in New Brit there are usually things that come up).If tenants are skipping out on "modern life essentials" like utility bills, cell phone bills, car payments that is a huge red flag.However, if it is a result of medical bills or student loans (or possibly a foreclosure during the crash) you may want to look past some of those.

You're getting 3 year of appreciation and rental income essentially for free.

But I have heard increasing requests for dashboard-like products that are essentially not connected to any listing but still allow people to keep track of all the properties they look at.If I get back into new product development later this year, I may take a stab.

Flashing cash to make up for the way "no down payment" would otherwise look, essentially.- I suggest they write right in the offer, somewhere, that they've set aside $X,000 to fix stuff to make VA happy, and that this be a true statement.

So, essentially, you're paying 40% on the amount you have depreciated.

Plan on distinguishing myself from other builders by offering a better product.

It's amazing the credibility you get from your maintenance crew when you show them a product they didn't know about (vinyl planking floors or CU/AL rated outlets for aluminum wiring) or discuss a job with them as if you've done this hundreds of times.  

You will have to make your own decision about the morality, or lack thereof, in plagiarizing your professional advisor's work product.
