I am for getting rid of all the tax breaks as long as its part of the overall comprehensive tax package which aims at reducing the tax liability of not only individuals but also corporations.

And maybe if you set up the counter to accommodate/have a built in drying rack.....it might be more appealing?

Find the best place to accommodate your business.  

It also says they are looking into changing the rules to accommodate AirBnB and the like (STRR - Short term residential rentals).

The building space itself accommodates just this one tenant, shares walls with buildings on both sides (also retail spaces), and the purchase would be of just the property (building and ground underneath).  

Another option is to use a home style renovation loan which does accommodate primary residences 1-4 unit, second homes 1 unit only, and investment/non owner properties as well (1 unit only).The LTV's are similar to regular conventional financing from 75-95% LTV with the lower being investment and the higher being primary residences.The benefit is you can combine your purchase money loan and your rehab cost into one loan upon purchase and your rate is 5.00% or less as of current rates while with hard money you may be in the double digits with multiple points.The downside being that you may need more time to close, these renovation loans typically take 40-60 days to close.Your original question basically strikes at a balance of asset protection (LLC hysteria/hype) versus financing optimization (best rate/terms/etc).

Another vote here for Michael Blank's SDA - I've tried 5+ others, but this one seemed to be the most comprehensive so far. 

The notion of not knowing what you don't know is not expressly a matter of comprehension as much as it is a matter of experience and proper understanding.

The above is only a small part of a more comprehensive system set in place to manage our units, but I feel it's the most important with regard to our tenants.

My electrician is adamant that the 16 space panel won't be able to accommodate the circuits if we were to wire the house properly.
