I am currently working as a Legal Assistant for an Employment and Labor Law Firm and Luis is retired.

I felt this was also the right choice because I've always wanted to be self employed and am only going to school for an education (you'd think is the only case to attend but it's far from so in my era).

I do buy and hold, which causes more stress to my employer seeing as how I no longer need overtime.

Employ a license electrician for all your electrical work.

@Stan Hopp, generally the rental income from investment properties is considered to be passive (you need active, earned self-employed income) - therefore it will not quality for contributions into a retirement plan.

I am currently employed at a pretty goodfull time job, live in an apartment and have a poor credit score (its building up every month though), and recently got really interested in real estate.

If you do things that an employer normally does, such as purchase materials/equipment for its employees, telling them when to work, where to work, what to do, etc., the "independent contractor" may actually be seen as a "covered worker" and you'll have to do things like pay their worker's compensation premiums and follow state employment laws, maybe even providing payroll and pay FICA taxes.Remember that lawsuit against Microsoft where its contractors/temp workers claimed that they were basically treated as employees and should therefore get the same benefits?

I feel obliged to add something of a landmark; something that will have my name on 50-70 years from now for all the good I have got from Uganda.I also believe undertaking such a project that will employ over 2,000 Ugandans directly and bring in a lot of foreign exchange is a way of giving back to Uganda and its people for the business, support and the warmth they have accorded me.

When it comes to apartments, various characteristics of your property and operation may trigger certain coverage requirements (likely at your lender's request) such as:Boiler & Machinery -- when steam boilers/pressure vessels are presentWorkers Comp -- if employed directly by ownershipLaw & Ordinance -- if property is a non-conforming use (though typically grandfathered in)Flood -- if in a FEMA designated flood zoneThere are plenty of others that are unique to certain properties.

It works the same way that releasing a lein works at a closing.Now back to topic, - marketing I hire or employ a number of contractos.
