Q on deferred salary to a Solo 401K

They lower taxable income for federal taxes but not for FICA.However, employer contributions made by the S-Corp are not subject to FICA and count as a business expense.Make sure your W-2 correctly reports wages, deferrals, and FICA wages.

"Am I experienced enough to raise outside capital?"
29 January 2025 | 32 replies
I’d say if you did 2 or 3 smaller MF deals on your own and they went well, I’d say you are qualified to raise capital to buy properties similar to what you have already bought yourself.2 or 3 smaller MF deals does NOT qualify you to raise capital and buy 150 unit deal.I believe in step by step progress slowly and consistently working up the ladder towards bigger deals.

Rooming House Passing Conventional Appraisal as Single Family
22 January 2025 | 4 replies
It is zoned single family but since the previous owner is using it as a rooming house a few things look different that I am worried about the appraiser not passing:Outside doors for each room with locks.The only common area is the kitchen, no dining room, living room, etc.The rooms consist of 5 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, and 2 bathrooms.Each room has a bed and a small drawer which I am thinking of diassembling before the appraiser comes.Would I have a problem with this?
