Solo 401k for Real Estate Investor

[Mike Moran]

Hi there! I quit my banking job over a year ago and now do REI full time. I am also a RE Agent, mostly for my own deals and for family and friends. I'm interested in learning if my REI income (Sch E) could be shielded by contributing to a Solo 401k - or if I them open myself up to SE Tax; or if I should just focus on my Sch C RE agent income to make those contributions. Any advice would be helpful! And yes, I have a CPA, but There's always more than one way to skin a cat!
