You just can’t contribute to it unless you re-enlist or obtain federal employment.

We are going into the partnership with 50/50 contribution to the LLC.

Contribute to your IRA accounts for 2019.

The plan is for each party to contribute equal amounts to the investments, with ownership being split three ways.

Hello,Thank you for taking time to read and to all those who contribute.

I just see a duplex as safer because you are less likely to have both sides vacant and will always have someone contributing to the mortgage.

If you are wanting to scale in this type of property now, and others in your market seemed scared away by these CENoPs (can't evict, no payers) then you've got a perfect opportunity to negotiate that with the seller.The seller is obviously wanting to sell the property, and they're currently taking the hit on the CENoPs, so why not build some runway into your purchase price (say 8 months at $3,000/mo = $24,000) and either reduce the price or (depending on your loan type) have the seller contribute this as a concession at closing.  

Another factor contributing to the slowdown at the high end of the market is the ongoing credit crunch.

In my limited experience, these arrangements fall apart when people get "greedy" or over estimate the worth of their contribution. 

You're aware that filing an extension also extends the SEP contribution deadline?
