Marie is an old city with a high vacancy rate, declining population, poor tenant quality, and will never see any meaningful appreciation.

AirDNA just released an article on this that I'd highly reccomend reading.

If you have nothing helpful to add, please avoid posting.What I am asking is if paying myself payroll and also taking profit distributions that are not subject to self-employment tax still applies if I am paying myself out of the Disregarded LLC and not the S-Corp directly.

@Will Boller I would highly recommend Hostfully.

I found out that the seller is very motivated and is offering ALL types of creative financing options with rates as low as 3.75%.

He has suggested that to defer taxes I first transfer $150k from my current Roth IRA account into a new Self-Directed Roth IRA custodial account that I will open. 

For example, cash flow might benefit from areas with high rental demand, while appreciation might be better in growing markets.4. 

If you were to make a list: cash, hard money, 30 year loan, commercial financing, having partners ( you find the deal and they put up the money), IRA/401k Self Directed Investing and Seller Finance.There is always a lot of talk about how to invest with no money. 

Which means I will still need to finance about $400k for each property at about 9% rate (the rate is high because we'll using a commercial loan as we'll be purchasing the properties under an LLC).

However if you plan on buying 3-4units, there is a trigger rule for FHA, it is called the self sufficiency test.
