The Social Security tax makes up 12% of the 15% SE tax.

If you are looking "close in N/NE/SE" that stuff moves very fast and many times before it ever hits MLS.

It's not a lot of money per se, but distributing payments over time, for free, is nice.  

You may offer too much of the pie to them -- not out of greed, per se, but maybe out of eagerness to get the deal.

Anyone in Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, or SE Wisconsin/ Northern Illinois that attend meetings, meet ups, REIA's or the like let me know!

Pun intended... I am a horse person, LOL!  My name is Justin Schaefer, and although I come from a long line of successful real estate investors, and have studied it off and on for over quite a while; I am new to actua...

But I’m looking more in the out skirts of the Houston area, beyond the Beltway into SE Houston (Webster, Dickinson, Pearland, League City, La Porte, ect)It’s hard finding MFH that fit my criteria that are also in my target area but I just keep searching and running the numbers.

@Ed Shin1) There's no "rule" per se concerning which property tax card to use (and I wouldn't imagine the land/improvement split changed much from year to year), so just go with the one when you bought the house if you're using this method to determine your land/building split. 

There can be SE tax advantages there, not to mention receiving all 1099s under 1 EIN and tracking mileage and such as one entity vs for every property/ business matter.

We're in SE Idaho.
