@Jacob May This is a common question for many clients I work with that are not employed as a "typical W2/salaried" employee.

@Antoine Martel@Alexander FeliceAntoine and Alexander,I am a W-2 employee is business development and in my job I travel to Las Vegas several times a year.

Is this an employee you anticipate hiring?

Loved this episode, always cool to hear how BP employees got their start and what niche they have found.I’ve always thought that ideally you have 3 places in rotation at any given time...1 that you are in year five or six of ownership that you are looking to sell, 1 that you have renovated and lived in for at least 2 years and 1 day (and have a HELOC open), and 1 you just purchased and are fixing up with HELOC from #2. 

It needs to be tailored to things like form of investing, total value of assets, the assets of the owner, the number and type of employees,  even the tax status of the owner, the method they plan to use to pass assets to the next generation, etc.

It's going to be difficult to find very reliable full-time maintenance employees for that low of pay.   

Hey Howard.yes i did.With all the fires and need for contractors now those guys are booked for a year.Ask me how i know....Just remember with contractors they typically have a “shelf life”I have come to the conclusion in the bay area and surrounding areas if you want a contractor for a long period of time you need to hire them as an employee and keep them busy.

But I don't think you're going to find many who are enthusiastic about you wanting to re-check all of their work long term.Why not treat it like hiring any other employee?

Hello BP, I'm rolling my old employee 401k into a Solo 401k with the help of @Dmitriy Fomichenko  Sense Financial Services.
