That's a great catch on the vacancy placement costs.

Big Catch: In order to do this renovation, I quit working as a W2 employee, with my dad and am now doing my own electrical contracting work.

Right now I am thinking maybe the catch-all 8949 column (g) Code O- "You have an adjustment not explained earlier in this column."

I has started slow in putting into the TSP because the agency put me in the wrong retirement system and did not catch the error of 5 years. 

Right now I am looking at a vacant lot just outside of downtown Bardstown, it is not the most ideal location, but compared to other homes with similar distances from town I can still expect decent bookings to offset, and possibly cover, my mortgage.The catch is that I want to have two separate spaces, one for myself and one for the Airbnb; this is both a personal preference and "entire place" rentals tend to do better than shared spaces.

In our city there is also a crime called "keeping a disorderly house" - it is a catch-all for party houses and such.

I waived the home warranty as negotiation tactic because since home inspector went thru house and did not find anything that would suggest there would be problems with covered items on the home warranty.Home warranty does not cover pre-existing conditions, but makes exception for real estate transaction, if1) malfunction was not know to seller's agent, buyer's agent and home inspector.2) malfunction cannot be detect thru visual inspection or simple mechanical test.so here is my malfunction that ended up costing me $1300.the shut-off valve to the kitchen faucet made a grinding noise and started leaking when i was turning off the supply to the kitchen faucet. this is day 1 in the house. i also had toilet tank spurt out water from the side, whenever i flush the toilet, indicated a seal issue--again day 1. not sure how the inspector wasn't able to catch this.because i live out of state and had to go back to work on day 3, i had somebody come out to replace a total of 7 shut-off valve to plumbing fixtures, 1 main line valve, and 1 water heater valve due to corrosions on the these valve parts for 1300would home warranty have covered these replacement or would they try to wiggle out of paying for them saying the corrosion was visually present, and when not present, the leakage would have been detected had somebody trying turning off and on the shutoff valves or flushed the toilet?

You could also do as J Scott recommends and hit up Home Depot/Lowes in the morning and try to catch one of the many contractors coming in to get supplies.

I'm trying to buy as many as I can before people catch on. 

If anyone from Knoxville or east of there in Tri Cities catches this post, please reach out.
