How To Pay Yourself From Your Properties

[Cody Malave]

Perhaps this isn't the right place to ask this, but in the most innocent way possible I am curious as to how people who have quit their jobs in order to pursue investing as a full time gig make money. Basically anything I've read states that you have to keep your money separate from the properties or any personal assets can become a liability and at a risk of loss. If you are creating an LLC for your investments, how does one (eventually) use the income made on investments as personal finance without blending the two? If not operating or investing under an LLC, how do you prevent your personal assets from the risk of potential lawsuits?

You get “paid” automatically....the llc is disregarded as far as taxes go, so you’re paying tax on any profits anyway, you simply take the distribution...no need to “pay yourself a salary” as that turns passive income into active income, with ss/med taxes getting added in.
