If I own an LLC that sells engineering consulting services for, say, $20,000 in a year, can I use that $20,000 to make a downpayment on an investment property, and then tell the IRS the LLC had $0 profit?

I would avoid all of the algorithms simply because they are just 'guessing; in a sense.For most properties, you can just go on your preferred website like Zillow/Redfin/Realtor.com and just look around for properties that are extremely similar to yours.

I wanted to reverse engineer this a bit, granted I don’t have tax or insurance numbers.

So I can't seem to find a search engine that will allow me save my interested properties into categories either by location or amenities or by investment goals (LTR vs STR or duplex vs SF).

There are a lot more bodies and much more humidity from occupants due to the high levels of occupant activity.Assumptions200 SQFT/tonRequired cooling would be 200 tonsAssuming $2500 per ton installed, cost is $500,000.Again, these are very high level back of the envelope, but it is based on engineering rules of thumb for sizing and current pricing that I am seeing for commercial work.

Say grading, roads, electric, water, sewer, engineering,etc

One investment in a rural area from an auto parts manufacturer or aerospace supplier can be a powerful economic engine that transforms the employment and income levels of area residents.

Note - you can also use higher education (e.g. a construction management degree, Civil engineering degree, etc.) to count for 2 out of your 4 years of required experience.6) Provide professional references who can attest to your experience and character 7) Get bonded $8) Pay licensing fees $9) Wait for the ROC to review and approve your application Oh, you'll also want to set up an LLC before you start any of this.

Once you confirm this I would then proceed to talk to a civil planner/engineer and the local utilities company. 

If you're trying to sell a billionaire on lending you nearly $70 million dollars for some speculative waterfront deals, you need to go in prepared to talk about:LOCATION - Access to property, comparable properties, demographics, schools, etcLAND - Lot size, zoning requirements, entitlements, surveys, plot plan, utilities, etcBUILDING - Isometric plan, unit count, amenities, how it conforms to zoning, what you will do if variance required, etcTEAM - Who will be the architect, builder, structural engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, civil engineer, etc?
