MLO Classification: W-2 vs. 1099: What is the norm for sponsors, meaning do they  provide a W-2 with tax withholding, use a 1099

Hi anyone with a recommendation for a tax expert experienced with handling proceeds from a lawsuit involving defective building material.

This type of financing will typically look very different and more like a traditional commercial real estate loan.That means a DSCR calculated based on a full NOI and expense load (so inclusive of vacancy loss estimates, credit loss estimates, repairs and maintenance, utilities, management fees and more – in addition to the property taxes and insurance expense that are the only expenses factored in on traditional residential style DSCR loan financing).Additionally, the DSCR minimums are generally going to be higher (typically up to 1.25x), the loan to value ratios lower (higher down payments) and underwrite more sophisticated (which makes sense considering the size and scope of the property).Many multifamily investors for properties of this size (such as more than 11 units) can syndicate capital and have more sophisticated financial and entity structures – its definitely a different world once you get up here in unit count.In Conclusion – when you are looking to invest in multifamily real estate and finance your investment – make sure you have the unit count in mind before you start shopping – the unit range can have a huge effect on your options.

The key highlights of this slate of bills includesAdditional Excise Tax on STRCreation of a statewide STR registryStandardize safety requirements across the stateProtect the ability for local government to zone STR in accordance with their needsThis isn't the first attempt at statewide regulation, and its clear the bills as written would be operationally burdensome to put into place for the state (aka, expensive) and the problems they are trying to solve are not, in all, a result of STR in our communities but of bad tax laws already in existence.

There are only three instances where it makes sense to buy solar panels for your house.1 - You are living off grid. 2 - You live in a state that has sky high electric costs AND great tax insensitive.3 - You have lots of money, don't care if you are paying more, and want to feel like you are saving the planet (even though you really are not). 

The nevada state/city tax is higher than the MA state tax I pay so I would also need to factor in the income tax to be paid there in my analysis.

Hello All,I am looking to buy a rental property with my parent (full cash no loan) and we are trying to figure out how we should set up the agreement in order to get the least amount of taxes paid and most amount of profit made.

However, now I'm learning that I should be able to do the same thing and just classify the LLC as an S Corp when filing my taxes and it avoids nearly all of the self employment taxes. 

Hey - I thought I was in the clear - but perhaps not (was about to file my taxes . .  ). 

As I am neither a US citizen nor a resident, I would like to know which taxes I need to pay and which rules I need to follow.
