I have questions about self managing?
Great afternoon BP fam🫡.1, When self managing, do you pay yourself a fee? 2, if you do pay yourself a fee, is it considered an expense (tax purposes)? 3, if you do pay yourself, do you have to set up an entity to legitimately receive that payment? I appreciate all feedback!
