To deduct the vehicle using section 179, it would need to be a qualified SUV/pickup/van over 6000 pounds.

I would certainly keep that tenant.

Year 1, I intend to keep my W2 job while i work to get my small business going.

To throw a wrench into things, if we were talking about real property/structures that were being short term rented, it's possible/likely that your depreciation period would be 39 years, not 27.5.However, a vehicle - which is what an RV is, regardless of how you're using it - is 5 year property.

Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this:

Is it possible to keep my land loan out of it to keep the total cost low?

Assuming these are for short-term loans, such as for flips, @Keith Groshans, you could do what we do and let the borrower keep the money and pay everything when they sell the property.

In my state the standard contract used by realtors addresses this issue by allowing the agent to check a box specifically to limit the seller to keeping the EMD as opposed to going after "liquidated damages" like that.

They seem to keep going back and forth on this issue.
