I am an full time employee and hold a real estate license on the side. 

My husband and I are both full time employees and we do not have time to maintain our properties ourselves or deal with bad tenants.

From the single-member LLC, i pay myself 100k last year to max out on the solo 401k contribution, while still having a W-2 as an engineer as my main job.my main job pays me 170k/year (Google)my single-member LLC rental pays me 100k/year (as S-corp structure)my question is regards to the payroll tax, i know I already max-ed out on the payroll tax on the employee side, any additional payroll side as employee will be refunded in my tax return, how about the employer side.

I look at tenants not as customers, but as employees, which means I am responsible for for their job training.

It's essential to thoroughly research the local market, understand the risks, and carefully evaluate each investment opportunity before making a decision.As a Minnesota native, I can confidently say that I prefer the warmth of a sunny state over the cold and snowy climate I grew up in.

To evaluate investment opportunities, consider factors like property condition, neighborhood trends, rental demand, and potential appreciation.

Ensure the facility is legally permitted to operate as self-storage4.Evaluate the local market conditions, including occupancy rates, rental rates, and competition from other nearby storage facilities.

Rachel left her engineering job to broker full time too.I'm happy to help you gain some confidence evaluating properties (whether it's BRRR, ADU conversion, or DADU development) and build your team (contractors, conventional lenders, hard money lenders, etc.).

Since this would only ever be from the 'Employer' side for foreseeable future, would the contribution to the employee be limited to 25% (5k - expenses -50% self employment tax,) or ok to use net?

Chelsea - I don't have an ownership experience at the moment, but I'm currently evaluating a deal that is a 28 unit and similar dynamic with weekly/monthly rentals rather than longer term leases.
