Looking to start a granite and counter top business and was wondering if anyone has done this?

@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.

PMs and realtors want to use people they know that have been in the business and do a good job for them.

I’d like to get into this type of business.

The vacation side is more of a business and requires a lot more work but the affordable housing side is less labor intensive. 

Startup costs paid out of pocket should be recorded as capital contributions and may be deductible as startup expenses or amortized.

Hi, has anyone applied for a business line of credit with American Express? 

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

The best way to think about it is you're in the business of renting a property-that business isn't operational until it's ready and available for rent (aka in service). 

Your equity can provide the funds to make those improvements happen, increasing your home’s value and making it more enjoyable to live in too.Getting a Business GoingIf you’ve been dreaming about starting your own business, your equity could be the kickstart you need.
