Is Pac Morby not made out for REI since his first business failed and he couldn't pay his employees. 

Another option ($$$) Might be to engage an advertising company, and have them flood the local radio, TV and Internet With bi-weekly news stories about the coming business, focusing on the number of jobs that will be created.The number of jobs both for construction workers to build it, and the number of employees that will staff it over the shifts it will be open.

Market Data- I like to personally look for top employers in that market & how many employees they have, look at trailing population growth and the direction it has gone, the population itself if it is an tertiary market, job growth, median area income, etc.

Now that we've come 2 years down the line, and those inventories have been depleted, manufacturers are having to kick up production with fewer employees that are getting paid more, and everything costs more.

BEFORE taxes and insurance, probably common utilities and maybe an employee or two?

I am an full time employee and hold a real estate license on the side. 

From the single-member LLC, i pay myself 100k last year to max out on the solo 401k contribution, while still having a W-2 as an engineer as my main job.my main job pays me 170k/year (Google)my single-member LLC rental pays me 100k/year (as S-corp structure)my question is regards to the payroll tax, i know I already max-ed out on the payroll tax on the employee side, any additional payroll side as employee will be refunded in my tax return, how about the employer side.

Plus you won't be frustrated / discouraged waiting to find the perfect BRRRR I think you will like being an owner rather than an employee!

I look at tenants not as customers, but as employees, which means I am responsible for for their job training.

Since this would only ever be from the 'Employer' side for foreseeable future, would the contribution to the employee be limited to 25% (5k - expenses -50% self employment tax,) or ok to use net?
