If the LLC is solely owned by you, then this may be considered a gift from your sister to you which could be reportable by her, if your sister is a part of the LLC, then this is probably just a property contribution to a partnership owned by you, her and any other members involved in the LLC.

Additionally, with a 7% interest rate, I'm paying a significant amount in interest.On the other hand, if I save up for a down payment on a rental property, once I have enough to purchase the right property, it shouldn't require any additional money from me, and I'll be building equity without needing to contribute more.Does anyone have experience with this?

This has had the dual negative effect of artificially inflating prices and putting buyers in precarious financial positions.In Worcester, we have seen properties with $6k a month in rent sell for as much as $720k which has directly contributed to a run-up in prices which has priced out most first-time buyers.While the intention behind the Fannie Mae 5% down program may have been to help first-time homebuyers, it’s essential to consider the broader impact on the housing market and buyer stability.

Basic services like garbage collection don’t qualify.Material participation: Owners must pass one of the seven material participation tests, such as:You spend more than 500 hours working in your short-term rental business.You carry out all the necessary tasks to run the business yourself.You work more than 100 hours in the business, and no one else contributes more time than you do (this is often considered the best and easiest test to meet).

While the self-directed IRA is a great structure for investing into real estate and other alternative assets, the Solo 401k is widely considered to be even better.Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contribution limits are roughly ten times higher and there is no custodial requirement for the 401k.
