They don't trust the stock market or other more exotic investment vehicles and don't want to fool with land-lording or the process of acquiring real estate etc...Trust is not a barrier and they see me as a vehicle for which they can make a good return on their money, of course understanding the normal risks.

If the Landlord receives a judgment for money against the Tenant, the landlord can use the court process to take the Tenant’s personal goods, furniture, motor vehicles, and bank funds.11.

(student loans, vehicle, ect.) this will take us around 9 months to a year.

Could you buy them a TV, stereo, or something else for $500 or less to get a handshake that says they wont mess with your tenants or call the police for nuisance things.

Typically they have embroidered polos, a truck with their logo on it but maybe only one or two of these vehicles that are personally owned not owned by the company, and they have a small office where one person coordinates everything.

As investment vehicles, the IRA and Solo 401k are largely similar, but the retirement plan features of the Solo 401k are more robust.There are many resources here on BP that offer such plans and investors who have used these types of plans.

Yes, but that is to say that so could other vehicles such as a Self Directed ROTH 401K which becomes 100% tax free once its been in place for 5 years or more and your are age 59 1/2.

Love the small MFH as an investment vehicle.

Anthony, You hear correctly that a solo 401(k) is a preferred investment vehicle when purchasing properties with debt financing.
