I do not have a job or any income (although I have a job with my dad at his business guaranteed my senior year) but I still am committed to make rental property investing work for me and start before I am out of high school. 

If you're 50/50 on whether to do it, I would encourage you to self-manage your first few rentals and then when it becomes too much of a time commitment turn it over to 3rd party management.

S**t happens in life but you still honor your committments.

Before I could show you a home and you didn't even have to commit to me as your Realtor! 

If there's local boom in industry we should see the effect in immediateterm not in short tem, so what really happened in 2020-2022 is really big mistake by Fed.Also it seems very natural that in the next ten years we see lot of consolidation in the big business, much less small biz owner, and everything is owned by the conglomeration of some very powerful big names that generates cash from their operation.America is going to be more controlled by big company regardless who is in power in the goverment.So some folks are selling SFHs now in large masses to transfer into t-bills in the short period(4-8 week duration) then enter 2024 with funds to come into CRE to convert into storage, MFH(with better terms), and I think some other plays.

Commit 10 hours a week, initially, to real estate.

You need to be self employed to be able to set up either type of plan.Unless you are buying a real estate company( no reason to if buying a single property) ROBS can t be used.You don t need ROBS to buy RE in a Solo401k.

Separately, there are plenty of ways to get money out of retirement accounts prior to retirement age (Roth conversion ladder, 72(t) distribution, or just get the match and pay the small penalty).
