@Alan HaleCan’t answer number 2 but financing has nothing to do with your profit I’m it doesn’t matter what you buy whether a car, home or pack of toothpicks, your profit is what you paid for it minus your costs/expensesWhere financing does come into play is it is a cost as money is not free - but it’s only what you have paid for that financing.Hope that makes sense

;) i’m thinking maybe something about an hour drive from one of the big airports. would make it easier for me flying in and renting a car.. 

I look at the vehicles, are they 20 year old economy cars on their last legs, or are they newer vehicles that people are making payments on at a legitimate car dealership vs a buy and pay here joint.

It is extremely hard for the average person to afford a standard home, car, and investment property without any debt.

Can these be tax write offs (home office, phone, car expenses, etc) even though I won't technically be making money for some time until everything is completely built and leased?

Ok on to a new topic…Government has Taken a Permanent Intellectual VacationThis week, the Federal Government announced rules to block medical debt from credit reports, ie being used to evaluate a borrower’s financial fitness for mortgages, car loans, aka, easier to get more debt.

If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

Think of your home like a car.

It's a 1/1 with two car garage on a half acre composed of two Tax lots.

Do the residents have cars?
