BTW, posting in the forums and saying "call me" is a solicitation or "redirect" as the poster is 1. not adding anything to the topic by taking solicitating a private conversation and 2. asking one to contact them to explain what course to buy is pretty obvious going to a private pitch.Now, what I have posted in another site where spammers were active, thanks to Josh they aren't here, that if someone can't follow the rules and the spirt of the rules on a site, it's probably an indication they don't follow other rules in other things they do.

When those words are mentioned on the forums, you'll be notified and can jump into those conversations and share advice or learn.

Capital and equipment.If the gross receipts and profits come from items 2 and 3, then that should not be associated with the shareholder-employees personal services and not be allocated as compensation.On the other hand, if most of the gross receipts and profits are associated with the shareholders personal services, then most of the profit distribution should be allocated as compensation.It seems to me that if you use a S-corp, pay yourself only a small salary, and are very actively involved in your flips, the IRS can step in and reclassify most of your pass-through as wages.

You really will have to buy those big ticket items over the long term.
