Typically, if you want to write items off, you also need to recognize the revenue on your taxes (which you legally need to, but many people rent a room to a friend and pocket the cash).  

I actually used to teach the Introductory Flight Screening (IFS) program in Milton and have had the opportunity to meet and train lots of flight students like yourself. 

@Scott Mac thank you very much for this. a few of these things i have not thought of. we are entering the due diligence phase and will definitely bring up these items. just curious, do you have any office spaces?

I figure that would handle 25% down and any and all closing items.

For a long time I was on the 1 year lease train.

I'm new here, but I'm also military (army vet) and when I moved to Rucker I bought there, then stationed at drum and kept the place in rucker and rented it out to other pilots who were moving there for a year or 2 at a time for training.  

I did not ask for the whole inspection report to be done, but fair items to be addressed.Advice on next steps?

My name is Rebecca and my husband, Nick Knox III and I have run Captain Save a Home LLC, Brew City REI Club (a private network of our trusted real estate friends), Brew City REI Training Cafe (ala carte style real estate mentoring/coaching) and Wisconsin Contractor and Handyman Club (contractor-investor connection platform) based out of Milwaukee, WI for the past 8 years.

You also see evidence in that everyone knew/knows it would be short/medium term by looking at the training of the baristas-turned-loan-originators that now dominate the call center places, in many cases they weren't even taught how to read a purchase contract (ask your Realtor, they can attest to this :), the idea (implicitly) being that this batch of new LOs is just going to be fired once rates go up, they're just being hired for refis, no reason to teach them how to read a purchase contract or that deadlines matter.

Really I'm open to anything, just trying to get some more rental cash flow and keep this train moving forward.
