Tools like rentometer.com can be very useful (I use it every time I want to analyze a potential buy & hold here).

I have trucks/tools/supplies etc that I have been including as expenses on my contracting business in the past, but considering that I don’t expect to be reporting any business income, if I filed taxes the way I have been I don’t think the IRS would see my business as operating to produce a profit. 

I understand that it is a gamble and that if I use all  the right tools and do my homework, I will minimize my risk and will be successful.

Possibly local call centers or maintenance centers could help with this too.Additionally, if you're looking for a couple of podcasts to listen to you can start with A) https://doorgrow.com/category/podcast/B) https://billcaskey.com/category/the-2x-podcast/Just some cool stuff in here to help you start looking at modern tools and practices.

Is this a tool you created or is this a tool that you’re subscribed too?

In some way, they are all worth what you pay if you use the tool well.
