That would be awesome!

@David Lee Hall, III Awesome!

Awesome!

If I were you, I would consult a good tax accountant (CPA) regarding the creation of an entity to pay yourself W-2 income from.There are several possibilities and a good CPA should be able to tell you the advantages and disadvantages of each one.No, I am not a CPA looking for clients. 

You are doing awesome!  

@Dan M.That sounds like an awesome idea!

This sounds like an awesome project- I’ve seen some commercial buildings in west loop where it looks like they bolted a new sill to the existing wall and then dropped in new trusses.

I keep hearing about this FHA loan option with only 3.5% money down for owner-occupied investments so that sounds awesome! 

@Robert Williams That's awesome you've listened to so many BP episodes so far.There are some BP articles written on this topic.
