@Justin WindhamI own a small business that we don't offer 401k for our employees so I can't so a solo 401k.

If it is owned by just you and you will not have any employees (likely) then it will likely be a disregarded entity--no need to file a separate tax return or obtain an EIN.  

I went to the office and was met by a new employee who didn't have much information about how the park worked.

With Finance degree he should be able to make a handsome salary even as an entry level employee, and YES !

The southwest as a whole has gotten a lot of attention with a lot of Tech support jobs moving south b/c of a size-able employee pool and much more affordability.I don't think there is a right answer market wise but, I would say to focus on purchasing with relative value in a strong submarket.  

I once had a Statefarm agent say that commercial policies was more for businesses that have employees and such.

Yet he is used by both the local Electric, Gas & sewer utilities to inspect the homes for their employees after a home has been left vacant for some time. 

My goal is to gradually wean myself out of being an employee to an employer.

If estimated cost is given, the landlord shall furnish the tenant with copies of paid receipts or a certification of actual costs of repairs of damage if the work was performed by the landlord’s employees within 30 days from the date the statement showing estimated cost was furnished to the tenant.Every Landlord should remember one very basic rule: you can put anything in a contract but that doesn't mean it will stand in a court of law. 

But at the end of the day as most people have mentioned those are just employees.
