This 401k plan was from a previous employer.  

Depends what strategies your existing leasing agent is employing.

Hello @Talmadge Lawing,as a realtor you are self-employed and qualify for a Solo 401k plan, which is far superior to an IRA.

I'm currently living in a duplex I own, work full time, but my employer doesn't offer a retirement plan.

Will the IRA be subject to self employment taxes (because this is a flip) or will it just be taxed as ordinary income? 

Looking to pick your brain on this:As a rehabber, What are some good suggestions or ways to to secure a loan when you are self employed and don't have the 9-5 gig with salary?  

The 401k loan option is also available only if it's a 401k with a current employer.

I've employed the BRRRR method a couple times and I am now working on my 6th property.

Kathleen R.My employers allow their commercial tenants originate the payments from their bank to the landlord's bank account; we do not set-up the transaction so I have no software to recommend.I do not ask for estoppel letters in our residential investments.  

More employed people with lower expenses means they have more wiggle room to rent a nicer place.Sara also mentioned looking at whether or not new businesses or franchises have opened nearby, which is a great tip if you are looking for up-and-coming neighborhoods.
