I  used Home Depot's Web site to select the doors I wanted and also used the Homewyse website to get a second set of numbers, and they came both pretty close to each other at $1800 products and $1300 labor.I then contact Home Depot to get a person on site to inspect and take measurements, and a couple days later I get an estimate with two sections: Customer Pickup #1 for $2695, and Installation #1 with $0 total.

At minimum, it should protect you for any recorded liens (tax, water bills) and bogus claims to ownership (aunt Sally coming out of the woodwork to claim ownership).

Your smaller doors, you will get a more transient customer base. 

Or you work for a wealthy customer who knows the deal and checks up on you. 

@Basit Siddiqi many people on here have STR, or claim themselves as self employed investors, or expense on a schedule C, or they have LLC/SCorp etc.

Usually title issues as passed on by quit claim deeds2.

We must do right by the customer, even if it means a lower commission, or even worse: Losing the deal. 

The only thing you lose is mortgage interest decoction, but if your business is profitable, you can claim the 20% pass through tax deduction. it is about a wash on taxes, but you are not stuck paying all that interest.

You are able to claim this tax credit retroactively for properties that you have built or remodeled within the past three years.

You can get seller financing, do lease options, sandwich lease options, quit claim, money partners, equity partners and even partner with the seller.
