It doesn't matter the type of business (sole-proprietorship to complicated corporation), you have to have a salary for your company to make an SD401k contribution.

I'm going to hazard an answer to my question, correct me if I'm wrong.A) If the investment is by loan then they are like any other employee/contractor like I stated above for a renter.B) If the person is a partner, then it depends on the partnership was made up how the "contribution" is compensated for, but no W2 or 1099 is needed.If a corporation then the work could be treated either way.

There is a flip side to seller financing restrictions and that is the possibility of more influence and funding by institutional/corporate broker/lenders in a billion dollar industry.Most of our financial laws appear to be a stab at consumer protection but they are often designed to limit the entry to the financial services industry by small operators, originators and brokers Pulling in the reighns has been a knee jerk reaction to fraudulent and deceptive practices by many small real estate operators and investors.

Joshua Dorkin, I will take your recommendation too on SEO, if you don't mind.For the best SEO advice, follow SEOMOZ, although they do not offer a service any more, I believe they partner with Distiller who does do SEO.Going back to twitter Joshua, in my mind, it is a social experience, personal experience, although a 1 to many broadcast, I would prefer to hear it from an individual than from a corporate veil.

I think that combo works well in RE or in the corporate world.

Jeff,Actually, your corporate taxes were due 3/15 (Assuming your tax year ended 12/31)... you're already late and will be paying a penalty.

I am always amazed at the comments/complements that are made on our (my wife's) taste in staging and colors.
