I think this business plan exists in all types of real estate and non-real estate businesses.

Years ago, being a property manager was what I planned on doing for my retirement gig.

So I’m trying to come up with a game plan  Conventional loans do require 25% down on an investment property.

I plan to continue holding onto this property.

Additionally, the transition process itself could create uncertainty in the market, making long-term planning more difficult.Opportunities for Private Lenders & Alternative FinancingWhile some investors may face challenges, privatization could create opportunities for private lenders and non-bank financing options.

This is an old question, but it is still relevant if you are planning to invest in Dollar General.

I have not heard of one of those, but am gearing up to buy my second house and could possibly use some sort of loan program like that!  

I wouldn’t purchase anything out of state without first getting a thorough inspection, establishing a trusted team on the ground, and having a solid exit strategy in case things don’t go as planned.

The first one that comes to mind is do you plan to keep working while building your real estate empire?  

I generally see literature as such, and cannot tell if having a part time employee removes the chance of solo 401k or if the custodians just don't want to deal with it:"IRS rules prohibit contributions to a solo 401(k) if you have full-time employees, but you can use the plan to cover yourself and your spouse into retirement."
