Call me difficult all you want, but I'm posting an important warning to the BP community: you cannot set your S-corp salary based on some rules of thumb, such as this 60/40 urban myth.That said, there is also no such thing as paying yourself out of a disregarded entity and no such thing as an LLC "owned" by an S-corp.Now you make me guess what your actual setup and your actual intention is.

Lead success vary based on markets.   

I’ve also been on the fence about jumping in and have been searching reviews.
