More sophisticated questions?

I often see small multifamily properties with high payroll expenses, because they have onsite staff.

50% rule is an estimate and that is it, sophisticated investors are not thinking about the rule.

They all just wanted to know how much they could get for their property.I’m sure distressed multi-family owners are out there when the market’s hot, but obviously they will be much farther and fewer between than distressed SFR owners, both because there are so many more SFR owners and because multi-family owners, in general, are more sophisticated real estate-wise than SFR owners, most of whom aren’t investors at all.Maybe I didn’t spend enough on marketing or didn’t know what I was doing or how to negotiate, but that was just my experience.

This is so sophisticated.

I think this is in part because of the fact that not very many investors know how to properly invest in the space or understand the sophistication of selling, leasing, managing, etc within the space.

In general, smaller buildings in NYC are difficult to manage as they entail a slew of services (rent collection, bookkeeping, maintenance visits, tenant disputes, leasing, local law compliance, payroll, insurance, insurance audits, etc.) that aren't cost effective for the owner of a small building, and the fees aren't enticing enough to afford the best talent in property management space.

Is there a way the employer and employee could form an LLC together and have the employer put said bonus together and match it to purchase Real Estate as 50/50 Partners to save on Payroll/Income taxes?

You can see how sophisticated and complicated these are and yet this forum will get buried over time while the most popular forum discussions are things with the normal, simpler calculations such as CoCR.This is exactly why I stopped going to Network Meetings.

Why do we not here of these pitfalls when all are recommended to go over-sophisticate the ownership of residential property.
