If employee(you) pays 100 a month and employer matched it by putting in 1000/mo.

A few ideas to get the discussion started:Contact HR at all major employers in the areaFliers at local retail (hair saloons, nail saloons, laundry mats, etc.)The more creative and out-there, the better!

I'm looking to start flipping but keep hearing from people that since self employment tax is so high it cuts a huge part of your profit out.

However, we would go from passive income as landlords to having to pay self-employment taxes, plus commercial insurance (which is double the cost), plus all of the costs of setting up these LLCs, plus added taxes, etc.I manage the property and do basic repairs, but everything else is contracted.So, for all you real estate gurus...Can anyone explain why to do an LLC? 

Credit score greater than 700If working a W2 job D/I of less than 80%If self employed a positive cash flow of more than the monthly payments of my loan verified by their Income tax returns.Loan is no more that 80% of the ARV of the property or up to 100% of the purchase price of the property which ever is less.

And speaking of Caldwell, I've heard one of their largest employers (Simplot) relocated to Boise.

I left my W-2 employment behind and didn't secure a LOC or Cash Equity Refi in my properties before I left.  

I have $19000 in a 401k with my previous employer that I want to move into a SDRIA and start investing.

One thing though to keep in mind is your employment contract. 

I don't think a 10 mile radius is anything but a one mile could create some pondering unless you've got an investor already there who loves that niche.My guess is you're going to need to employ a variety of strategies to maximize your return.
