You can generally deduct your business expenses not paid by the borrower.If you’re running a lending business, no matter how small, like any other business, you can deduct all reasonable and customary expenses.

To increase the effort others put into building my business I offer a 1,000 referral fee to anyone who tells me about an unlisted property that I buy.

A business does not base their business plan on possible RE appreciation and sale of that building.

You might also meet someone that could be a potential business partner.

So you have financial outfits getting involved in businesses that had long been left to small owners or specialized funds.

The corner is the highest profile space and makes that building look less vacant (if you filled it), plus theatre goers would have to walk by all the other store fronts in order to get to the performing arts theatre and regal so that would add foot traffic. 

Alot of selfish liars on this post, we all know most ppl who get into the business started from nothing to make something. 

I have found that locally, this is where you can see other homeowners who needed the same thing done and often times they have someone who isn't big on the internet or on a list, but is reliable and cost-efficient and they appreciate the business.

Thinking about using it for my wholesaling business going forward.  

Lots of people invest and house hack, or have a related side business like being an agent, or have a mix of self-managed properties and properties that are professionally managed.
