landlording qualify for sep-ira?

[PAstash]

So I purchased a rental property renovated it with my SO. We will have it paid off in a year we are living there two years to beat the capital gains tax on the sell of it in case we don't like landlording.

I have a 40 hour a week job. can I be a landlord on the side an contribute to a sep-IRA? what are the restrictions on that if possible? sorry if this is not the right place to ask this.

I am already contributing to a 457 plan though my work a IRA and a brokerage account via vanguard.

PAstash,

  The guidance I've received from my CPA is that unless the majority of my income comes from active real estate activities, income from rental properties is considered passive.  So, I don't think you can use it as a basis for the SEP-IRA.  Of course, different CPAs have different interpretations, so check with yours. 

Let us know what yours says.

You can only do a SEP with active income.  Pay yourself with a 1099, pay the 15.3% self employment income tax, and put it in a Roth.  That may be a better plan than a SEP.

You are betting the tax rates will be 15+ higher in the future.
