we are immune to the rest of the country, low appreciation over time.

Did you know you can go from being immune as a child to being highly susceptible as an adult?

I don't know what part of the country you live in but where I live there is no such thing as a neighborhood immune from vandalism.

Unfortunately, our congress people are not immune to reactionary public pressure.

Some feel it is too toxic, but if you sprinkle it where pets and kids can't get to it, like inside walls, the roaches don't become immune like they do to other pesticides.

@Charlie Fitzgerald  its just we have short memories.. and Appreciation tends to get targeted as anyone who would invest for appreciation is not wise..when in fact in 07 to 2010 NO model was immune from the wipe out.I look at OPUS  huge billion dollar commercial developer from Minnesota.. they build some of the premier commercial retail in PDX for 20 years.they got caught holding a ton of commercial in Phoenix and had to file BK.For me cash flow is nice but appreciation and forced appreciation is nicer and better payday.as for cash flow I like interest  and not dealing with tenants and PM's...

That sometimes gives me the false impression that I am immune to bubble fever when making my offers to purchase.

this was GA AL MS MO IN  so not all markets were immune..

Once the sponsoring employer goes away, the plan must be terminated and rolled over to an IRA.Taking passive rental income and creating a separate corporation to provide management services to oneself as mentioned earlier in the thread not only has the time and expense of setting up, maintaining records for and reporting taxes for that separate corporation, but also adds 15.3% in self-employment taxes to any of the income now deemed to be self-employment.While the Solo 401(k) has many nice features, two of the primary advantages such plans have over IRA alternatives are higher contribution limits and the immunity from taxation on UDFI in leveraged real estate transactions. 

Structuring you affairs in this manner, your out of state holding LLC does not fall within California’s jurisdiction and is immune from its enforcement actions.Also, a benefit to using an attorney is that trial lawyers are more likely to go after you if they see you have a DYI LLC: they assume you may not have done a good job running your LLC as a distinct entity and maintaining good records.
