He said he believed it would be reimbursing myself for capital contributions and therefore the withdraw from the LLC account would not actually be income.

I also have some funds I was going to contribute to a self-directed IRA to do the same.I am having a very hard time finding a good company to work with.

I would recommend saving a 20% down payment and once you have accomplished that I would then increase your retirement contribution.

I want to invest in real estate, but i dont have enough for a downpayment on a morgage.I am heavily paying off my student loans, living with roommates, contributing to a 401k, work full time, but i dont have enough cash on hand to get traditional financing.Im thinking that moving into a seller financed house is my best option to get started with REI.

Heidendreich, over the course of 3 years that this string has been in existence, you will see our accredited investors, busy as they are, contribute to this string. 

Again thank you for your time and I look forward to being a contributing member of this community.

Just wondering what others consider when deciding what to contribute to the property monthly. 

We also have provisions in place where any one partner can stop contribution 'labor' (PM, book keeping, maintenance work etc...) and still get a share of the profits, if it is a matter of not wanting or being able to put in as much time but still interested in having the investment.Dan Dietz

You might be able to add an additional condition in the formula and force it to use manager's contribution, if the member's contribution is 0%.
