@Soup NikkIf your cousin is self-employed with no full-time w2 employees, your cousin could set up a Solo 401k, rollover funds from the now former employer plan and then take a loan from the Solo 401k (assuming the plan provider supports a loan). 

If your not military/government employee then you have to donate some money to their charity in order to bank with them, but it's not much.if you have more than that, consider getting a line of credit against your properties.

Your interactions with your colleagues and employees will improve, which will lead to more—and more profitable—deals.

I made it a point to find someone who had multiple trucks, tractors, employees, but it didn't seem to matter. 

As a wife, mother, employee, student....and all of the many, many hats we wear every day, day in day out, it's so rewarding to look back (and reach back) to see how far we've come and help someone along the way. 

 @Darryl Good Yes - what I mean is that if you pay an employee from that same company for Property Management and perhaps you can have some income from managing a few other properties - maybe friends of yours, etc - then you have an active corporation with income from more than just the passive source and you are paying out an employee - maybe a spouse or child and it is no longer a passive holding company. 

But this is my third year in commercial cleaning and trying to scale the business I’ve made some mistakes and let employees take on things I should’ve continued to manage myself and those mistakes cost me contracts, and being overwhelmed with my family structure between work, husband, father of three, realtor and investor mentally I wasn’t prepared for it all and it took a toll on my mental health, so I scaled back on business til I had a better structure meanwhile properties sat.

I have one colleague who is looking for 4 offices within the next year, another who is looking for another 4 offices, two colleagues who are looking for solo offices, plus my practice is growing and I am trying to hire some employees to work under me, so I could two additional offices.

Would it be disqualified if you were an employee of your in laws LLC?

It’s also nice because they are generally good quality tenants if they are Mayo employees.
