I'm in real estate and/or I make my own schedule being self-employed.

Poor screening often results in lost rents, legal & court costs and costly damages.Screening of applicants includes the following:Full credit/eviction/criminal checks are done, instead of score-driven reportsVerification of rental history includes validation of actual property owner to avoid fraudVerification of stability of income & employment via YTD paystubs & W-2(s) (analyzed to confirm not fakes)Income is calculated 3 ways to spot stability anomalies: pay period, YTD average and YTD + W-2 average.Debt-to-income analysis (more accurate than traditional 3x rent requirement)Bank statement to see if NSF issues, if deposits support income, prove MoveIn Funds, also analyzed for unusual transactions.Pet screeningHolding Fee required from approved applicants to make sure they are serious, before a property is marked pending.

I've had many subpar experiences, quite a few bad ones, and more than one where I abandoned the place upon seeing walking into it.I believe much of the reason I've had lousy experiences is (a) I was trying to keep costs very low for my employer or client, so I often stayed in places that were in the $100-$175 range, and (b) I was often booking at the last second, which meant the best of options were unavailable, and meant that my options were either poorly appointed, poorly managed, or new and inexperienced. 

If your employer matches your contributions to any extent, you would be making a grave mistake. 

I read an article by Amanda Han (CPA, real estate investor, and very active member on BiggerPockets) where she gave an example of a lawyer who recommended the same structure of using one of their LLC's as the property management company for their client without realizing the huge tax implications of doing so (if I recall correctly, it had something to do with self-employment tax).

Share what age you retired and if you have not retired, share what age you plan to retire.Well, since your definition of retire is leaving W-2 employment for full time RE then 23.

I have been reading a few posts on BP forums (that are 3-5 years old) about self-employment taxes which state that if your average stay is less than seven days then you need to pay SE taxes, no questions asked.

I would be interested in being able to contribute to a SEP IRA or Self Employed 401K.

I was thinking it could be a value add having the ability to see the story behind a tax return for self employed folks.
