TIC that includes the shed (and what little yard there is) as a freebie...I'm taking the shed, my business partner will be taking the 1BR apartment to live in and oversee the short term rental that I'm looking to make the shed...Originally posted by @Amit M.

I absorb the cost of the background check as a cost of doing business. 

I've used a generic contract for the last couple of years on any job I do especially someone that I haven't done repeat business for on jobs exceeding $1,000

My plan is to create an LLC as the business entity and use flipping to provide a financial engine to getting into long term holds. 

I don't like a 3rd party telling me how to run my business, more specifically, telling me to repair things that don't need to be repaired.

There's either missing information, or there's funny business afoot, no way to know which.If the heated driveway were all it was, and what you say about the comps was the whole story, then someone would have bought it for $1.25m and put their own heated driveway in...

See if there's a way for you to do business in the park that can be a win/win situation for both you and the manager.

I’m approved for an sba loan but is not enough to purchase the land and build a 6,000 square feet building. Should I wait a couple of years on the project or should I apply to purchase the land? 

Elise, I am from NJ and my properties are in PA, my PM has never charged that. 1099-MISC is for sub contractor when you pay them, as a PM you are not paying owners because we own the property, we pay you and if anything we should be sending that to the PM, but you should be professional enough to report your income, that income for you is subject to SE tax which you would have to pay. if you are going to charge your customers to cover that cost on top of your normal rate you charge, you may not get any business.

I’m looking forward to building business relationships with other investors and transition to flipping as well as buy and hold.
