Mike T. Back Door Roth IRA
12 September 2024 | 4 replies
If your plan has both tax-deferred and Roth 401(k) components and is written to allow for in-service Roth rollovers (most do), you could roll the money you've stashed in your traditional IRA into your tax-deferred 401(k) and then do an in-service rollover, once the money is in the 401(k).
Steve Christensen Structuring Lease-Option Contract for Commercial Auto/Body Shop?
16 December 2015 | 0 replies
This could be structured into the deal, as it would definitely put "skin into the game".While it really wouldn't help to sell the shop per se, as it doesn't add value to the detriment of the area and lack of foot traffic, it is a better and efficient system than the radiated heat.Any thoughts, even anything outside of what I said, is GREATLY appreciated!
Therese V. What is MIRR (Manager's Initial Rate of Return)?
7 October 2016 | 10 replies
It gives me a good picture of the cash-flow in the most recent fiscal period (typically a year), but to carry that forward 2, 3, 5 or 10 years encompasses as many assumptions and predictions as does calculating an internal rate of return.Now, you can discount future cash flows and endeavour to calculate a series of CoC values ... or, perhaps an average CoC over a period of time ... but you are now getting into an exercise which is not entirely different than determining/projecting a rate of return :-)  Naturally the cash return is a component of overall rate of return."

Emily Refi looking for real-estate savvy CPA in Portland, OR area
27 August 2018 | 13 replies
@Emily RefiThe two common choices for investing retirement funds into real estate are the self-directed IRA and the Solo 401k.The Solo 401k requires self-employment activity, but will allow you to take participant loans while the IRA does not.A few other Solo 401k benefits: Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly ten times higher.There is no custodial requirement for the 401k.You don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook control.There is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not both.A spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k plan.The Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverage.The penalties for prohibited transactions are less severe, though it's best not to utilize this benefit :)With either structure, it's generally recommended that you do not commingle retirement and non-retirement assets.
