An alternative option is a solo 401k if you’re self employed with no w2 employees other than a spouse.  

The 31-story, 552,000-SF trophy office development was purchased in February at a significant discount due to upcoming vacancies, allowing CoStar to relocate 500 employees from Washington, D.C., into 150,000 SF.

I think they had well over 200 employees at the Office I went to,  It was their headquarters all the honcho's named above officed there.

Your advice on facilitating tenant placement and fostering professional relationships in such contexts would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your guidance!

I'm a W2 employee and not a relator so the meetup is not pitching any products or trying to sell you a course, it's a way to network!   

@Dave Foster Thanks for the input, Dave.

From: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p925#en_US_2022_publink1000...Qualifications.You qualified as a real estate professional for the year if you met both of the following requirements.More than half of the personal services you performed in all trades or businesses during the tax year were performed in real property trades or businesses in which you materially participated.You performed more than 750 hours of services during the tax year in real property trades or businesses in which you materially participated.Don’t count personal services you performed as an employee in real property trades or businesses unless you were a 5% owner of your employer.

You would do that anyway with a sole-proprietorship and not have the hassle of the reporting that comes with a W2 employee.

We're hoping to rent a unit to an employee of a company- Basically, the company is assuming the costs of the rental and paying for it for their employee to stay in it.

Quote from @Kaiden Foster: It seems the general consensus is that it is nearly impossible to get liability insurance as a STR manager?
