I’m also looking into self-settled spendthrift trusts to add an extra layer of protection, especially as my portfolio grows.

Tomas, are you self managing your Cahokia Height, IL property or are you working witha property manager? 

This will allow your agents and wholesalers to better assist you.

Self How did you add value to the deal?

If you need assistance, I’m here to help.Best regards, Stevan

We are now at 21 doors under management and 3 are personal units that we self manage.

I self perform most of my construction at this point and find it very difficult to make ground up construction pencil in Philadelphia unless I am selling for $400/ft.

Self financed How did you add value to the deal?

I've been self-employed for only 6 months, and loans are proving difficult to come by despite my great credit (not to brag, I'm moreso frustrated and seeking help).

For example we pay our own income taxes, broker splits and all of our other expenses directly out of what we make including required E&O insurance, MLS dues, licensing fees, Board of Realtor dues, continuing education costs, marketing, advertising, office fees/rent, transaction coordinator/ assistant fees, health insurance, car insurance and maintenance, gas, tires, software, retirement fund, etc.We are not W2 employees with payroll taxes already taken out of our paychecks, company-paid health insurance and matching retirement account plus a guarantee of at least 40 hours paid work per week, sick pay, paid vacation… none of that.So if you’re thinking you’ll be able to pay an hourly wage typical of a W2 hourly employee like $50-85/hr… that’s definitely not going to work.
