In addition CA proposed a 15% STR tax in addition to standard occupancy tax.  

@Mark Waite, will be happy to meet with you, if you think this is not a risky proposal for a newbie.

Each scenario will vary because purchasing a primary residence you're qualifying for a payment and have no income to offset the payment however when you're qualifying for an investment property you get to use phantom/potential rental income to help offset the proposed mortgage payment.

Most companies will provide a free upfront proposal, if they are all similar, either go with whomever your tax advisor recommends or which one you feel most comfortable with.$4500 is not that expensive for a cost seg, based on the market.

- how you ensure my proposed structure is accurate, flexible and relevant, so that aren’t any things that will come down the road and increase my taxation, or possibly hurt overall ability to further engage in business planning?

The proposed phase-out is applicable to single family residential properties, not everything.

Neighbors of the proposed billboard location are notified of the hearing via certified mail and allowed to express any concerns.Can Permits be Renewed for Previously Existing Billboards?

I have a bad credit history (just finished consumer proposal) but managed to save up 100k for downpayment.

The next private money deal will be easier to get when you can show a track record of acquiring a property, performing on the proposed business plan at roughly your budget and timeline, and then paying the private lender back from either a refinance or sale.

In FL, when a contract has been proffered, and the parties proceed with the work without objection to the proposed contract, they are considered to be operating under that contract even though it was not signed.
