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. 

when you break it down, say you are able to close 7 or 8 deals in a year..you get a check for say 6k, 4k, 12k, 8k, 5k, 13k and 5k...after you put in all the marketing it took to get those deals, pay taxes, you are probably at about 40-45k maybe or even thousands less.Not sure about flipping, (never done one), but my guess is you would make out better, assuming you know what your doing and execute them perfectly.That is a nice amount to bring in from just assigning contracts, but my thought is, the only way to build on it is if you continue to work a job, if not, you just have a stressful self-employment gig and all your profits are going to living expenses.Our conclusion was that finding and buying(holding) real estate deals with built-in equity for cash flow and tax benefits is the best way to continuously make a great deal of considerable wealth.Please share your thoughts, especially those that do these strategies full time, I love to hear different viewpoints!

My employer direct-deposits my paycheck on the last day of the month.  

Employment of PersonnelIn most instances anyone employed at the property shall be the employees of the management company.

A lot of employers now offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).  

Quality firms in this field will do more than just setup the documents, and will provide you with ongoing access to consultations about the use of your plan and compliance with IRS guidelines.If you are self employed and have no full time employees, you would qualify for a Solo 401(k).  

If so, do you pay yourself as a w-2 employee to avoid self employment taxes?
