This is to comply with federal money laundering law.

Hi @Ben Feder,Starting can definitely be intimidating, especially with capital concerns. 

For example a new Chevy might be slightly cheaper and less reliable than a similar Toyota, but both meet all the minimum federal safety standards and whatnot, so I as the consumer am somewhat protected from that dial being jacked too far in either direction - there's virtually no chance that I can find a new car from a legit dealership that is priced so cheaply that is likely to explode on me the second I drive it off the lot. 

Granted I have a part time job at the school, but it makes less than the federal poverty line and they don't keep me during Summers.

@Ben Feder your real estate team can walk you through this process.

If marijuana was legal in that state the Hydroponics farm would bring in great income unfortunately I think this state is going legal until it's legal on the federal level.

And finally, while the excluded income escapes federal income tax, it is still subject to payroll taxes.The FEIE is a fantastic tax break if you can get it, but I find many people have unrealistic expectations about it.

most all nonprofits in this space are setup as state filed C Corporations that take the federal IRS Tax Exempt status later and make 1,000 copies of the determination letter to show to donors, states, cities, etc. to payNO property taxes, NO income taxes (IRS/states), NO sales taxes (states), etc. keeping costs downwhile providing deductions through donations that come from foundations, tax payers, corporations, etc. and there's a lot of collaboration with your tax payer dollars from govt.the biggest builder is probably Habitat for Humanity (Christian volunteer model), Proud Ground uses the Land Trust model and we like First Story's model based on working with for profit companies that donate materials and labor.The pieces of the affordable housing model that we DON'T WANT to use are "equity caps" and dependency on subsidies.Generally, the model has been to feed people fish.We want to teach them how to fish.So connecting renters to affordable home ownership opportunities/resources WITHOUT equity caps through small homes and free financial education can help some of the 100M Americans paying rent to many BiggerPockets millionairesso that renters can start their American Dream.We want our customers to be able to sell their small starter homes for a profit TAX-FREE under the primary home $250K/500K exclusion to be able to move up towards their American Dream.

I just completed a refinance with Navy Federal for an investment property, however that property was in my name and not the name of the LLC.

Hi, Tyler.A Federal Housing Administration loan, typically called an FHA mortgage here on this site, will allow you to buy a home with only 3.5% of the purchase price saved up as a down payment.
