I am not a broker per se I do make new orginations every week though.. and I have sold many many properties over the year with seller finance that I owned. 

IN generally I've seen the idea be that you se aside a certain amount each month so that when the time comes it is there. 

I'm subject to SE taxes but my net income is 0.

Instead of moving out, he sued me and my LLC (pro se), claiming:- Breach of contract, promissory estoppel, specific performance, declaratory and injunctive relief,- Plus $15K in “equity”, arguing that rent and expenses made him a tenant-in-common.He also claimed a right to renew, though the lease clearly said renewal required mutual agreement.

The savings usually come from:Pay a reasonable salary (payroll taxes apply) and take the rest as distributions, no SE tax.

My understand is that it is not AI content per se that took over.

I wasn't asking legal advice per se.

If you operate under an S Corp, you can strategically avoid SE taxes.

A few lessons I see work best:Pick a lane early: Flip income (ordinary + SE tax) vs. hold (capital + depreciation).

Quote from @Rob Howard: @Kevin Day I'm not sure about Cleveland per se - but I would have a conversation with the management company to incorporate language in rental agreements saying you DON'T have in-depth lead information - even if you do the inspections - if you're doing tests, a few feet from where you did the test could have led exposure.
