I do not have any issues contributing the match to my ROTH IRA since I get a 50 percent return on my money for the match at least, I just do not like the Idea that I can use that money without incurring a penalty if my first deposit is not longer than 5 years.

I am self employed and contribute pre tax $ to retirement account (self directed SEP IRA)

The way we have things set up is that 'whenever' we dissolve things or do a refinance, the capital partner gets 100% of their contribution back before any other equity growth gets split.

@Steve Theobald, I really liked your contribution to this article. 

And you can later contribute both your interests into an LLC but then that LLC becomes the taxpayer for the property and when it sells it will have to do the exchange and the two of you are stuck together raising the issues that @Daniel Beaulieu is speaking of.But the above requirement is set in stone. 

I am just about finished with my real estate licensing coursework and I am starting to look for a brokerage to join, but ideally I want to join a successful team that I can contribute to and learn from.

It reassures me that BP truly is full of people with tons of value and willingness to contribute.

If that's the question, a LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) is the go to formation for me, however, you may want to consult an attorney and/or your accountant for their input.Also take into consideration the amount of EQUITY each person will contribute.

We bought a rental property split between 3 SDIRA’s and our living trust, and we’ve always kept the same ownership ratio, both in owner draws and in contributions.

If nothing else, we can at least contribute the maximum $56K each per year and shelter $112K right off the bat.Thanks once again!
