Its largely goals & objectives without the specific mechanisms that will be employed to achieve them. 

Hello everyone,I just passed my associate broker exam and I am trying to desperately find an employing broker that charges a flat rate or a very low commission split/desk fee as I intend to use my license for personal transactions and investment properties as well as for family and friends.  

Referral, employer, landlord.

Usually, buying an owner-occupied house is not an investment decision unless you plan to employ some kind of strategy like flip, BRRR, house hack... maybe it'll help if you run some numbers of different scenarios and compare.

I have no money saved except some cash from a previous employers IRA.

I have chosen to go this route because I'm self employed and getting a conventional mortgage with a lending institution is not an option at this point.

I recently got let go by my former employer due to a family medical emergency where I had no more FMLA left.

If you sent me a 15-20 page PDF with your personal income statement, employment status, education, skills, the property or properties you are considering, your calculations and projections, your rehab estimates from contractors, local comps, appraisals, estimated ARV, what you plan to list it for, who your realtor or broker is, your 5 year plan, etc.

There has to be some vetting for this.If I was told HEY your tax work WON'T be subject to Self employment taxes AND won't be subject to passive loss limits.

Would you employ a different strategy?
