Your story about the seller financing deal is powerful—trust really can change everything.

Power was shut off to prevent it from starting more fire (or was killed by the fire) and this power is what drives the municipal water pumps. 

Right now the only utility at the garage is power so basically I am starting with a frame and a roof. 

In that case, I wouldn't say the PM necessarily made a "mistake" by keeping the power on.

Following Up + More details: @carolineOur utilities were also opened using an LLC but since the power had actually been shut off the problem mostly came from ICE sending someone out to turn it back on plus installing a new style meter (which had to be approved by our HOA but that was another matter entirely and not particularly difficult).Opening a bank account with BCR as an individual is easy and you can get an atm card in about 3 days but you will be limited to holding only a thousand dollars in it.

Depreciation is another powerful tool, allowing you to deduct a portion of your property’s value annually.Action Step: Keep detailed records of all expenses and consult a tax professional to ensure you’re claiming every deduction you’re entitled to.3.

I recently read a book that mentioned there being a lot of power and benefits of a personal corporation but I'm curious as to when a corporation is actually beneficial over the latter. 

My GUESS is these homeowners have been tricked/screwed in to signing a long term power purchase agreement, often with no buy out provision.

The property is unique—it’s off-grid with a well, solar power, and a fully finished interior.
