Changing to S-corp status would most likely make sense at the beginning of the year relative to 2016.Contributions calculations are somewhat different in a sole proprietorship situation as vs once you start taking a w-2 from your corporation - though the amounts end up being pretty similar.Bottom line is that you will want to sit down with both your CPA and a quality plan provider and put together a strategy that will help you maximize the tax efficiency of your business as linked with a Solo 401k.

Unless you have elected corporation tax treatment for your LLC, the LLC is a pass-through entity.  

In that structure, you form a C corporation as an active business - real estate development, restaurant, retail store, etc.

Corporate life isn't for me either.

We only make commercial loans to non-occupying LLCs and Corporations.

I still work a corporate job but I work from home and my hours a set by me, thus allowing me time to pursue other things, ie. real estate.I am looking for a brokerage in the Denver Metro Area (preferably not North of Downtown Denver)  that has good training and a good support system for new agents, but will allow me the freedom to continue to invest in real estate personally.  

Outside of real estate, my career has spanned management consulting, private equity, corporate finance and marketing strategy.  

I'm a loan officer out of California but my companies corporate office is there in New York.

Most living paycheck by paycheck are doing that because of a mindset- a mindset they'd have if they were committed to a regular corporate job.
