Hello All, Is anyone on here interested in redevelopment - retail to distribution centers?

Double-taxation can occur when a C-Corp has a profit at the end of the year that it would like to distribute to its shareholders.

You don't want any transaction with a retirement account to be deemed as a distribution if that wasn't the intent.

Quick analysis is derived by taking annual Gross potential rent, subtracting an appropriate expense ratio (a percentage of income that is typically used for normal operating expenses+reserves+taxes etc.) and dividing by a market Cap rate.

You have to either pay yourself a salary or take shareholder distributions with any profits. 

The Solo 401(k) also has the advantage of being more favorable for real estate investments using debt-financing such as a mortgage - as the 401(k) is exempted from a small tax called UDFI that an IRA would pay on the percentage of income derived from the borrowed money.So, as you continue your research and get feedback here on BP, think about what type of program will best suit you needs and be sure to ask questions along that line.

@Ron Alexander For distribution, you can have one or more per LLC, and that depends on multiple factors:- property class - you might not want to mix A class property with a D class property in the same LLC, due to different tenant level- cash flow - you might want to keep your cash flow cow separate (and alone) from the ones that barely produce (and can be combined in one LLC till they start "producing")- equity - you might want to keep the one with large equity in its own LLC while you can group the ones with little equity in another LLC (let's say you have one with 50K equity in its own LLC and 3 other each with only 10K in another LLC, till their equity grows to your risk threshold when you move them out in their own LLC).- number of units (in the case of MF)- location of real estateThe investor has to decide what mix is optimal for their situation.If Series-LLC is an option for you, get one and put each property in its own child Series-LLC, problem solved.

(This is not legal advice nor am I an attorney but I was involved in my own probate matter which reached Final Distribution and settled the estate)

In fact, he never invested in tech during the recent tech bubble (the 90s) or derivatives in the run-up to 2008 because "If i can't figure out what a company does, I don't feel comfortable investing in it."

@Alan Johnson wow...only a matter of time before we get some new crazy CDO like derivatives on the market again...we learn nothing from last time..haha...Interesting idea though!
