They were total add-ons.

Now if I pass that income as management fees to S-corp, I pay $3.5K (SE tax) + $800 (LLC fee) + $1700 (CPA + bookkeeping) = $6K in total.

You’re totally exposed to being strung along the way you’re doing it.

Learn by experience and making mistakes.One issue is most people who buying coaching only buy one program or max 2, so it's pretty hard to rank them.If you are convinced this is what you want to do, I'd look at Lifestyles, Total Wealth Academy and Brad Sumrok's programs. 

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I am actually open to hear about other areas in the states, but the general direction is Jacksonville at the moment.I totally agree about the partnership part.That is why I am working with one :) Are you thinking of buying in Jacksonville as well?
