  • James also owned two small businesses: a food truck business and a car wash.

  • The food truck business he started two years ago as a sole shareholder with an investment of $100,000. The money was used to build a food truck and fund the business startup. In October he sold all the shares to one of his cooks for $120,000.

The car wash business he purchased for $750,000 three years ago. The business consisted of one lot with the car lot on it and a second lot that was vacant which the original owner had intended to use for a used car sales lot. Both lots had a land value of $200,000. The vacant lot had cost him $10,000 a year in property taxes and interest which he was able to offset with the occasional rental to the movie industry when they needed to store their trailers. He earned $20,000 in total over the three years from rental income. He sold the vacant lot in September for $6000,000. The buyer paid him $150,000 down and signed a loan to pay $150,000 principal and $7,500 interest per year for three years.
