Well, even if your CPA was correct, this had an opportunity to convert the ordinary self-employment income to capital gain. 

Algorithms that tailor choices are in fact controlling your environment, not sure why it’s better if it’s for capitalist purposes.What the IMF is really saying is “you know banks should really catch up to the market here.And yea, the monitoring and social media stuff by govt is scary too—right now the only real “defense” is obscurity and a strong legal system.

Very few of these people are what I would call financially successful, which at this stage I would define as having self-made net worth of $1-5M net worth outside the value of their primary residence.

Much more active than LTRs but well worth the time if you learn to self manage remotely.

So if it's easy to get a loan and you don't have a good deal in front of you put the money in the 401(k) to take advantage of an employer match and you'll have more to borrow when there is a deal.On a related note, if you're going to get serious about real estate investing you may want to consider a self directed retirement plan so you can invest in real estate for at least a portion of your retirement as well. 

I bought it with all sorts of projects in mind, but I have found that I would prefer something lower maintenance and instead to focus on increasing my income.The downside of a straightahead sale is that, now that I am "self-employed", I cannot get a traditional mortgage for 2 years.

Unsubtle self-promotion.)

Are you aware of this proposed change to IRAs?

Owners often look at this and think I could have done this myself for and the parts were only $25 and now they charge me X.We self manage and have an internal team, but if I would hire a PM it would be Welcome Home Milwaukee.
