Quote from @Nicole Gauthier: @Don Konipol This is a wonderful contribution as well!

I look forward to learning from all of you and contributing to the community!

If the cosigner is not contributing funds but is just helping secure the loan, whats a fair way to compensate them?

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.

Rich Ng So what you're saying is, if you go section 8 try to find a tenant with a 25% contribution?

@George Blower yes, If any funds go to pay the seller note it will be a contribution first to the Solo K, then paid out to the seller.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

Why do you feel these posts contribute nothing to the forums when this particular forum is specifically designed to review real estate businesses?

The contributions are lower so it takes a while to build, but once you do, it's tax-free investing. 

Currently, I'm trying to find a tax strategist that will help me learn how to manage tax situations.Looking forward to learning and contributing as I can.
