The cumulative effects of paying tax on your profits every year is underestimated by most — we're talking tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for even a modest investor over 30 years or so — and being able to defer those taxes for decades so as to reinvest all profits will be a boon to your net worth and financial position.Also, be wary of "flipping," per se, in your Solo 401(k) as you could come under the purview of the UBTI rules, with the result that you would have to pay tax, and the whole point of investing through a 401(k) is to defer tax.

Hello All,We have couple of properties in SE houston area that are in need of minor repairs.

@John Franczyk on the tax front, there is no expense you cant write off, or business tax benefit that cant be taken weather you are an LLC or a sole proprietor historically, its all pass through anyway, for example if you have a HELOC on your personal home, and use the money for business purposes, the interest and expenses are deductible as a  business expense. at the end of the day it makes no difference, unless you are avoiding  SE and filing as an S-Corp, but thats for active income, not passive.

I would suggest that you make some business cards for the property (not yourself per se).

I'm looking for DC licensed contractor with 203k experience to assist with a SE DC Building that needs various work.
