Not sexy as Lexington but bank account is the ultimate measure of success

For those of you that have good w2 income and want to take advantage of employer matching (100% return!), how do you tap into that money to scale your portfolios?  The way I'm looking at it, if my spouse and I only do...

Make sure your accountant specializes in real estate taxation.

That could be just federally, however...Against $35K income:1) I take $23,500 W2 which 100% goes into Solo 401K --> No income tax You have to account for taxes like FICA and Medicare so this will be closer to $25-$26k.

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.

That’s correct, a foreigner can buy property through a Mexican corporation, which is a great option for those investing in multiple properties or running a rental business.Key Points I'd like to add to your post:Setup Costs: $1,500–$3,000 USD.Ongoing Costs: $1,000–$2,000 USD/year for accounting and tax filings.Benefits: Allows tax deductions for expenses like maintenance, repairs, and management.Best for: Multiple properties or income-generating investments.For a single property for personal use, a fideicomiso is often simpler and more cost-effective due to its lower maintenance requirements and feesUltimately, choosing between a corporation and a fideicomiso comes down to your investment strategy.

From my experience, mentorship can provide structure, accountability, and networking opportunities, but it often comes at a high cost.

For a rule of thumb, replacing a commercial boiler can range anywhere from $20k to $150k, depending on the size, age, and efficiency.

Expect to see more brokerages reduce their fees for listing real estate as they move towards fee models that not only recognizes but accounts for the role technology plays.

When you file your taxes at the end of the year the accountant is going to ask you for your receipts or what and how much you want to write off using deductions.
