Imagine that you hired me and my wife as your employees.

@Dave Foster spot on

Thanks, @Dave Foster and @Bill Brandt.

An employee has no leverage with their time.

@Hansel Akers and @Dave Foster and @Alex Olson; Thank you for that feedback.

What's customary for "insiders" in a tech company (advisors, early contractors, employees, "friends and family" as they call it ) is to get options at a discounted purchase price.

Does any one think its smart to have a employee in my llc were all they do is wholesale property’s for me and get payed based on commission

What you need is an advisor who can take the holistic approach with planning. e.g. entity structuring, transaction structuring, utilizing tax deferred accounts, and utilizing tax credits effectively.If you are and your wife are both W-2 employees, you're going to find it incredibly difficult to move the needle. 

Any income passes straight thru to the members.An S-Corp is a way to pass thru your income with tax advantages for how you give employees benefits.Maybe before you spend money you should learn a little or call a CPA.
