I do a mix of short and long term rentals for a balance of increased cash flow and stability in an appreciating market.I would also consider lending that money out for someone else to do the heavy lifting on solid deals and make a healthy return.

So here is why I’m thinking this is a good idea:1) We get to reduce the SE tax by drawing a wage.2) We would like to max a Solo-401k for my wife, my understanding is that the 25% employer match would also not be subject to FICA or SE tax.3) The company could potentially contribute to an HSA account, again not subject to FICA or SE tax (I’ve heard mixed things on this).So now what I’m wondering:1.

Start looking up commercial/mixed use developers/owners in your area and reach out as someone who wants to learn. 

In the same boat here in PA, leaning toward mix of private money/cash to get started.

This is yet another reason not to mix family/friends with your landlording business. 

Interesting mix, 2 bed won't be as easy to rent as a 3 bedroom so your tenant pool narrows and rent is at the 2 bedroom rate.

I would not mix and match by putting his name on the deed but not on the mortgage.

Probably worth $2mil.What is the market like in the Hudson Valley NY area for mixed use buildings? 

We take all kinds of location information, mix it together, and give you 1) a detailed mapping of risk & return 2) an early warning on locations that make sense for you.Some questions for investors who have several SFRs or more:1.

I'm getting mixed responses from lenders on a cash out refi on a property I own outright in WV.
