I really appreciate the well-rounded perspective you shared.

I think it's just for text, not to talk with a live person.

This is my first post on here and excited to share my real estate investing journey with the best partner in the world, my wife.. we are looking into buying our first investment property via hard money.

I am the only person that will be able to update you in this matter.

- Of course, most of these PMCs weren't even properly licensed and were typically one-person companies.If you have an LLC, the PMC will only need the LLCs EIN.- If you chose to set up your LLC as a pass-thru entity, then you will need to supply your SSN.FYI - to avoid getting nasty letters from the IRS about errors (which might cause us to be audited), we will ask for a copy of your EIN assignment letter or a copy of your SSN card to confirm those numbers.

If you're maxing that out at your 9-5 then you'll only be able to contribute profit sharing in the Solo 401k.

Affordability for the average person is essential, in my opinion.
