Kkos law probably can do it the question is do you really need this? I find many people go this route but they end of causing a ton of heart ache come tax time and pay a lot in fees and company registrations which setting up this structure could be an overkillI

I would second what Chris says. That might be Overkill, but the kkos Firm would definitely be a good one to help you figure that out. They have set up two different LLCs for my partner tonight involved are self-directed IRA and are Solo 401ks. If I were thinking about what you are, they would hands down be the one I would go to. Tons of great content on YouTube and their website to

I would try Shane at the Hometown Bank chain-based out of East Central Wisconsin. He is based in the Poynette office. He has been the best on your phone as far as knowing what programs are out there and how they can work with

@Kyle Curtin if the overall deal is a 12% cash on cash return and you put up one fourth of the cash, your return is still 12%, not 3%. It's the same ratio or percentage whether you put up all of the cash or only part of the cash.

THIS RIGHT HERE


 Thank you haha! I understand much more clearly from everyone on this thread, I just had a little bit of a hard time understanding!


 I am involved in 4 different Partnership/LLCs that hold real estate. I agree with whoever said that sometimes putting it on paper helps. I like to draw pie charts to hash things through.

If there are ever any questions I might be able to help with feel free to hit me up directly.

I do not have a sdira but we raise money from investors and many use quest. Are they the cheapest - nope. But they answer questions, can get a human on the phone and fund quickly

Nothing against Quest, but I would also talk to a couple of the providers here in the forums, such as the two who have been helping answer your questions here to see how their companies would compare. I have been using retirement funds for about 8 or 9 years to invest in real estate now. When I called around to a few of the providers that regularly participate here I was much more impressed than with big guys. Just my two cents

Post: Retirement rollover to Solo 401K to invest in multifamily

Quote from @Jon Saddler:

Hi All! Interested in the community's thoughts on one possible game plan for investing in my first multifamily:

I currently own two single family rentals, and my goal is to grow my portfolio to eventually replace my income with passive income. I believe multifamily investing is a better way to scale efficiently as opposed to continuing to purchase individual single family deals.

I have around $140K in my government TSP (I'm no longer a government employee and have a separate retirement account now). What advice (and pitfalls) do you have about rolling this over into a Solo 401K to then partner with more experienced multifamily investors to gain experience in multifamily in preparation for doing a deal of my own?

1) Goal would be to roll this over in the next month, and find a multifamily deal before the end of 2022. I'd like to then potentially do a subsequent multifamily deal sometime in 2023 using the lessons learned in this experience and other funding sources.

2) I do not currently have an LLC created for my current single family properties, and presume this would be a prerequisite to anything else before I can create the Solo 401K

3) Does anyone have any experience doing this or something similar? Any issues partnering with others from a Solo 401K?

I appreciate any thoughts you have!

-Jon

  you're getting a lot of great advice here from some of the best.

one of my questions for you would be what do you do for your day job now? Is that something you could expand on as a consultant or a side Hustle? That might be an easier way to have self-employment income then trying to force it to come through so real estate investing that you are already involved in. An example would be a friend of mine who worked in commercial construction work started a side business where he does Property Maintenance. It is part of what he already is doing so it came easily to him, and in demand in our particular area. He focuses on professional Office Space small maintenance. Enough for him to Earn earn about 10K per year, all of which goes into his solo 401k, but the bigger reason was to roll over 300K Plus from his Ira's.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko - thank you!  awesomely concise. 

I had not considered leveraged property, but having LT or ST rentals through the LLC would be one intended exit strategy, depending on market conditions and how competent of a team I could find/craft for renovation and property mgmt. I'll have to learn more about UBTI. I'd expect to be as hands-off as possible to avoid self-dealilng conflicts -- everything would run through the SD-Roth LLC.

I do have a side-gig, 'though it isn't intended to generate a tremendous profit for funding the likes of a Solo401k.   However, there's always the option of building another business outside of the Roth that could fund said 401k.


One thing to keep in mind is even if a side gig generates small profits, it does make you eligible to have been a solo 401k into which you can roll existing 401k or traditional IRA balances, can be significant for some people.

We have been using Rentec for several years and really like. It gives our accountant everything he needs other than depreciation which he figures. We use the property management version as we have our rentals in seven different entities.

Before you start down a path with an advisor, I would suggest getting a second opinion, it sounds a bit more complex than average.

we, my partners and i, have used kkos lawyers and accountants for years. Mark Kohler and Matt Sorensen are both of the best in the business, and they have a ton of free educational content through their podcast in YouTube videos. They also have other educational materials for sale that I find are well worth the money.

nothing against Anderson advisors, but when I spoke to both of them before we started kkos seemed like a much better fit and that we would get more personalized, and less cookie cutter service. Just my two cents.. Feel free to reach out if you would like

We did this a while back with a 'prohibited partner' (father /son). What I learned after the fact is that yes, it is legal IF both parties could have done the deal themselves. BUT, what I didn't realize is that neither of us could even ADD more capital into it. My understanding is that essentially when you ORIGINALLY set it up, it could be thought of as 'co-investing', or along side of each other. But then if you want to ADD more, your are 'co-mingling' funds now - essentially 'doing a deal/business activity with YOURSELF. 

My dad sold his part to an unrelated party to clean things up so we could grow the business. 

IF you want to get into this type of thing, one of the best sources of info is from Mark Kohler and Mat Sorensen of KKOS Lawyers/Accountants. They have TONS of YouTube content and several Podcasts also. AND, they use the 'mixed variety themselves also, so they know of what they speak!

Good Luck, Dan Dietz
