My name is Sam Smith I'm 26 years old fresh out of college and have a full-time job in my field of study.

Many will say their eventual commission is their incentive and this is simply the nature of their work, but something like a gas card would help let them know you appreciate their hard work and should be pretty universally accepted as opposed to trying to guess what restaurants they might like/stores they might shop at.

The one detail I failed to mention is that an Airstream owner who did the same idea last year (sans garage challenge, just bought an Airstream and placed on big lot behind his house) sold his house and will rent me his Airstream for $500/mo. versus paying to store it.

I know that seems like a big cushion, but you really don’t know what fresh hell might pop up!

Its a multi-unit, mixed-use building, with two store fronts, last appraised at 2.4 million dollars, however in discussing options with some brokers they feel a new appraisal may be as high as 3.5. 

So I started to do some number crunching, and I was thinking of using hard money loan to try and finance the deal but quickly found out as a college student making about 3-4k depending on sales on my e-commerce store that I was not going to be able to afford the monthly payments for just the interest alone.

Had very bad experiences with contractors and would rather sell and start fresh at this point.

This may happen if you are trying to get a fresh look at how your existing tax return have been prepared, and if everything available that is tax advantageous is being taken by your current Tax preparer.Every CPA/EA works differently, as many tax professionals on these forums will recommend, talk to a few different REI specialists on here and see who you think might have the best personal/professional fit to perform the services needed.
