    wondering,.. would you say section 8 investing is better or easier in lower COL areas? my hometown is super low COL, but i moved and currently live somewhere where the avg house price is about 6x of what it was back home. way more difficult if not impossible to section 8 invest out here or get any kind of cashflow, but running some quick numbers, looking like its WAY more attainable back home....

      No one knows the severity and cause of the mold. In minor cases it can be possible but get rid of the source. Kill the mold then use the primer to help get it ready for paint. Main thing is get rid of the source

    How did you put your first purchases as LLC , s Corp?

    • @renegadephilosopher5996
      @renegadephilosopher5996 Місяць тому

      Take legal and financial advice from only professionals. I’m only giving my take based on what I learned and In my experience.
      You wouldn’t start off as S Corp unless you were immediately profitable. The point of S corp is to protect a large portion of your company revenue from the “self employment tax.” Which is 15.3% as a default llc, all of your company income is taxed as a sole proprietor across the board. So all of your income is taxed at 15.3% on just that specific tax. As an s corp only the “reasonable salary” which is a W2 type arrangement is taxed at 15.3%. So only the income that you take as an owner draw if you’re the only member on the llc will be taxed at 15.3%.
      However, now this is where it gets pretty interesting. Passive income is such as rental property income is NOT subject to that 15.3% tax at all. So there is no real need to go beyond a llc default tax as a single member owned llc. You’ll still need to pay federal and state taxes, but no self employment tax. I hope this is helpful. Feel free to check up on all that information.

    I was working full time. Got section 8. My one bedroom rents was $2,100 and my portion was $1,200. Having section 8. You may still pay what’s market value in other areas other wise. Housing is NOT FREE.some folks mortgage is cheaper than my rent with section 8. FYI. I’m just saying.

      yeah it’s dependent on the area you live in, market rents change all over the country. Also dependent on how much the tenant makes
