Hi @Thomas Manning1. get a deal calculator (BP has some), use it and start to understand the meaning of the underlying data.2.

Recently moved to Florida and am setting up shop :)I'm looking for a Tampa (or Brandon) mortgage broker who really understands lease options.

I understand about code violations and fines but what else can be there?

The DBA is the business name, but YOU are the sole proprietor and file under your Personal SSN.Look at the DBA filing - - there is no SSN or TIN as it is also known.If you want to file under something other than your SSN, the create an LLC or S-Corp - - seek legal assistance to do so and to understand the tax implications.

I'm glad I did -- it's great to see the operation and understand to what extent they renovate the properties.

If I understand you scenario, Yes, you would have to have a contractual interest in the property to receive a fee.

@Joseph SkatesI'm not sure I clearly understand your question.If your business is collecting waste then you will most likely have a couple of possible revenue streams: a dumping fee you may/may not charge to folks who bring the waste two you;scrap fees you may collect on sale of the various component elements you extract from the electronics.Depending on where you are, there may be a provincial program which will supplement one of those revenue streams (kid of like the tyre levies charges my many/most provinces).  

I understand lawyers cost $$$ but I'm sure it is not going to kill your budget to ask them a single question.

Without understanding the full picture, I would agree with the previous posts regarding the HELOC - as long as the new cash flow covers the HELOC.  

I'd love to meet up some time or talk over the phone about what opportunities there are right now and help you understand our market a little better.
