.· The taxpayer works more than 100 hours in the business during the year, and no other staff works more hours than the taxpayer.Hiring a property management company, therefore, effectively off-loads the primary work from the landlord, allowing for the income generated by the investment to remain passive and lower tax rates than active income.

These checks are after all closing fees and the remaining mortgages were paid off, meaning it's my profit.

I'm glad you're liking it so far, I've run into the same thing with clients where the HELOC sort of throws things off. 

So if you make 10% the first year on $1 of equity (so 1.1x your money), you need to make 10% off the 1.1x starting point (so 1.1*1.1 = 1.21x) to maintain a 10% average CAGR across the two years.In your example, if the $800 per month is after interest, then you made a 38% return (CAGR) for that year ($800*12/$25,000).

Within that time frame the business's revenue has grown significantly and has outran my tax write-offs from buying the company.

Hello folks in Lending forum,looking to try and see about potential lending partners who can write large checks (7 figures) and are looking for very high yield (much higher vs private lending rates) and higher than HML rates.only need lending for 4-6months until large line of credit gets granted and we pay off the short term note.ping me if worth a conversation or have ideas...this seems perfect for a family office just wanting to place dry powder for 4-6mos while they are looking for other deal flow but trying see about other options out there as well.thanks in advance.

If you arnt actually working with an agent, especially ones that do lots of off market deals....then how would you ever see those off market deals?
