As a broker in NNN 21 years and owner of my company what I would say is DON'T RISK your buyers hard earned dollars with the inexperience of not knowing NNN.Residential brokers and agents see commercial and think whopper of a check compared to selling houses.You need to refer this off to someone that has experience and not wing it with your buyers hard earned cash.

5 June 2025 | 3 replies
I am NOT an attorney--this is my research, not legal advice:To legally allow your renter in Kingsland, Texas, to babysit up to three extra children in your home (not at the same time), you need to address three main issues: zoning compliance, state regulations, and insurance liability.1.

For example, it might cost $80K to build but they charge $120K.Financing Kickbacks – Some partner with lenders and earn referral fees or offer in-house financing to profit from interest or servicing.Revenue Sharing Models – Some newer companies will build the ADU for little to no upfront cost in exchange for a cut of future rental income (often through Airbnb).Prefab/Modular Units – By using standardized designs and factory-built models, they reduce build time and labor costs, increasing profit margins.Add-Ons – Upselling property management, furniture packages, solar, or landscaping adds extra revenue per project.Each company is most likely going to be a bit different, but those are the common ways they monetize the service.

21 June 2025 | 0 replies
The contract says she’ll gradually earn equity (2.681 units/month), and once she reaches 1000 units she owns the LLC and therefore controls the property.A few things that concern me:She doesn’t have direct title or deed to the homeIf she misses a payment and doesn’t fix it in 30 days, she loses all membership units she’s earned...no refundShe can’t sell her share or ask to sell the house until she reaches 20% ownership (200 units), and even then it’s subject to manager approvalShe can't rent the property without permission, even though she'd be paying monthly like an ownerThe manager (seller) can never be removed from control until/unless she owns the entire LLCThe structure is kind of a mix between rent-to-own and seller financing, but it feels heavily weighted in the seller’s favor.
Damon M. What is your preferred LLC Structure for Fix & Flips?
20 June 2025 | 29 replies
The reason is that flipping is earned income subject to FICA (social security tax {14%]) With an S Corp some of your income can be a salary subject to the FICA tax and some can be a "Dividend" which is NOT subject to FICA tax.I think @Ryan Coon has said some things that might be misleading.
