Don't know if I can contribute much at this point, but glad to help if I can.

Imagine having a  fund all landlords contributed to, set up by landlords, to legally process all evictions and collections.

JVs and syndications happen all the time.In this case, the members of the LLC are contributing towards a downpayment for a Commercial loan in the name of the LLC.

I have some capital and other potential value add to contribute to a deal.

@Kay KeovongphetFor the profit sharing potion (employer contribution portion) of the plan that following may apply if your employer allows for it: The Employer Contributions being withdrawn have been accumulated in the PSP Plan for at least 2 years.For salary deferrals (employee contributions) Any employee contribution (including any earnings on such amounts) may not be distributed prior to the the Participant’s severance from employment, death, or disability.

As far as putting funds into Solo 401k, there are only two ways the 401k can be funded:1) Rollover from another qualified plan2) Contributions from earned incomeFunds from the refinance can never be placed into a retirement account. 

I am looking forward to contributing to the forums, especially topics including: financial analysis and underwriting (a class I teach at UCLA), leasing commercial properties, and flipping v. renting (via my former position at American Homes 4 Rent).

I look forward to being a part of this community, learning from all of you and contributing when I can.

Because everything has to be done at "arms length" this could be your best bet, and an opportunity to invest outside your area.Do some research on turn-key providers, the markets that make sense, and if the entire strategy works for you.Consult with your CPA; in guessing it would be far easier to keep your accounts separate, and each one holds an entire property within (not splitting properties, in other words.)If the $50k homes aren't to your liking, you can always make more contributions until you've got enough for an $80k home...
