show me anyone in any other quote un quote cash flow market that did  THA T   LOL excellent post.. i agree with this too.. i purchased 3 properties just few years ago here in the bay area... 2 in 2011 and 1 in 2012 all cash and my the equity for all 3 just doubled... probably near $1m equity. partially i think my mistake was i didnt leverage the bank.. i probably would have been able to purchase a lot more properties.. but im very a conservative investor and a complete newbie + im self employed and my income dropped significantly.anyways... all properties bring in positve cashflow, rents have increased and ready for harvest.. if i need down payments that is...also, ive been researching heavily the past few weeks... and i think there are some few good deals in the east bay right now...

Instead of addressing the error in the written plan (which he certainly had the position to do), Scott Rowe added another Saturday morning comp plan training - endorsing the fact that the written plan and his presentation need further support.Just an FYI: Scott Rowe himself is violating their own IMA agreement (re-signed annually) by promising "you can be making money with us next week" (highly, highly rare) and presenting the facade of offering W2 employment as "public speakers, office personnel, teachers, etc".

In general, partnership elections are preferred for passive investments, and each investor is allocated a portion of the LLC's income/(loss) relative to their ownership %.S-Corp elections can be helpful when you have a lot of earned income, so you can pay out some of the profit as distributions, avoiding the ~15.3% self-employment tax that would be due if those amounts would be paid in salary.Lastly, C-Corp elections provide some incremental opportunities for business deductions, and are apparently the least-most audited structure.I have a series LLC w/ an S Corp for my rehab company, a C Corp for my marketing company, and I'll add a new series for each rental property I may acquire outside of my retirement accounts.
