I've never seen it enforced, but can't hurt to CYA.Your other questions are really specific to you ...

Here's a question that I know is without a hard answer because it is location specific, but I'd like to hear what people think. 

@Mason Mccullough hopefully folks will chime in with specific areas.

I probably should've been more specific.

So we could say send out multiple invoices out for each specific job or we can send out one weekly labor invoice and one itemized materials invoice instead.

What specific deductions would be applicable.

Send me a PM if you have specific questions, happy to answer questions regarding the entitlement side once you have it under contract and start to engage the city.

There is no state income tax here so I don't see why you would need a CPA from Florida specifically.

You would do better by developing a ongoing relationship with a mortgage broker rather than a specific lender.

I reach out to the sellers in a nice manor via text and stated that i noticed the property was empty, i want my keys and i wish to move in early because i have tenants lined up to move into my current home and i dont want to live in a hotel with my kids for a week.They responded to my real estate agent that they woudl give me the keys the following day and i could move in on a specific date if i released the full deposit now.
