@Sebastian Taylor A parallel course of action you could pursue while continuing on with selling the house to to find a someone looking for a house, but who cannot get a conventional mortgage (self employed, recently divorced w/ credit hit, etc).    

Self employed with a good accountant, sound familiar.

@Moshe EisenbergFor flips you might want to consider how to have LLC taxed as a S-Corp for investments held less than a year.The benefits are that you can minimize self employment tax, access more tax deductions like car, fuel, marketing, and mileage.It also eliminates schedule C and lowers audit risk.I am not an accountant so please consult yours to see if an S-Corp is right for your situation.

Before his job at Coldwater, he was employed with the same company for 20 years.

My husband's employer closed their doors in 2012 and, after working for the same employer (a builder's supply company) for almost 30 years, he was fortunate enough to become a "full time" investor utilizing his knowledge and contacts to build sweat equity in the properties we purchased. 

If your 401k is with the current employer you most likely will not be able to roll it over until you are either no longer working for this company or reach retirement age.3.

I got notification today that they found a tenant, ran all the checks (eviction, credit, criminal background, etc), called the previous landlords and employer, etc. 

I have a 401k from a former employer that I would like to leverage to our new business.  

Hi @Natasha Sadikin  the most you should be contributing to your IRA is 15% and that is taking into account your employers contribution.Do you have any personal debt(car loan, student loan, credit cards)?

The tenant can also, if they choose, set up direct deposit from an employer using the routing number on the deposit slip.
