Have you discussed the strategy with your CPA? 

There are many excluded, niche groups (beyond the scope of this post), but here are the ones that you could fall under:Large Businesses20+ FULL TIME W2 US based employees; ANDU.S.

I was willing to offer some seller financing, and I was fine discussing the multiple.

I had an interesting topic my business partners and I have been discussing for quite some time and I would like the advice of you all.

@Janine Sharma The decision to classify your onsite mobile home park property manager as a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor depends on the degree of control you have over their work.

One approach that I have not seen included in the discussion is as you are still in the planning phase, you could change your approach and the facts to make it more favorable for your strategy.

Wrongfully terminating individuals not only disrupts their lives and livelihoods but also reflects a lack of respect for their rights as employees.

I suspect you spoke to bank employees who weren’t in their commercial lending division and didn’t understand your borrowing request. 

Of course, you can delegate most of these tasks to employees, but then you should also budget time for employee management, hiring, and training.

Regarding solo 401k, maybe this is slightly off topic, I use equity trust and they say you cannot have any employees other than a spouse.
