This should put you in the place you need to be as well as a backup plan if real estate does not pan out for you.

Sounds like a good deal as long as the inspection pans out.

Then I noticed watermarks it was leaking water out of the pan at one point at this time it’s winter so I haven’t used a/c.

@James, how did your deal pan out?

@Rachel Payton look in the Florida pan handle 30a area.

How do we obtain the TIN # from a contractor when issuing a 1099 form?

It's a good thought, but likely not one that will pan out based on the details you gave.

Anyway, I thought I might have had you one but maybe the one above will pan out for you. 15 years ago there had to be 2 layers felt or I&W shield.

One time expenses would include things like furniture, pots & pans, silverware, coffeemaker, blinds, bedding, TV, internet modem, electronic door locks, vaccuum, other cleaning tools, accents & pictures. 

Hi Leslie, you are an inspiration—I am pursuing your revised model of developing 1-2 spaces on land I own (county regulations are ... interesting) and am hoping I pan out as much as you did.
