Tools like rentometer.com can be very useful (I use it every time I want to analyze a potential buy & hold here).

I have trucks/tools/supplies etc that I have been including as expenses on my contracting business in the past, but considering that I don’t expect to be reporting any business income, if I filed taxes the way I have been I don’t think the IRS would see my business as operating to produce a profit. 

I understand that it is a gamble and that if I use all  the right tools and do my homework, I will minimize my risk and will be successful.
