At the same time, I started working for a great FW architecture firm, as an Architectural Intern (as I don't have my license here yet).About my REI: I bought my first apartment, designed and managed the renovation when I was 23 years old.

I was born and raised here so I am used to the crazy prices and lack of cash flowing properties ;-) I'm an engineer by background so I love my spreadsheets and internal rate of return analysis!

No seasoning requirement on the Commercial side, although some banks have internal guidelines.

If you are self-employed with no full time W2 employees, the Solo 401k might be a better option for you than a self directed IRA.

The best metrics Internal Rate of Return (IRR) but that takes into account future increases which is at best an educated guess.To Wayne's point "cash on cash" is the cash return on the cash invested.

Hi guys,Reading about taxes and ways to keep more money on this side of the road I've realized I should have my wife as an employee/contractor to my company.

Hello Team,I've been an employee in the multi housing community for a few years already. 

I've reached out to some local realtors who specialize in investment properties seeing if they would be interested in acquiring someone for an intern type position, and thought I would extend the question out to the landlords and property managers around the Des Moines area.

Aside from hiring her as an employee what is the best way to compensate her for her effort?
