Initially I was planning to establish an LLC for liability protection, but after several consultations with different law firms, entity structures seem more complicated and much more expensive than what I need just starting out and with and no real wealth to protect. 

I will live there for a year (It was an REO and I signed an addendum that I have to live there at least a year) while I complete the remodel and then rent the property out to establish cashflow.

How do you establish possession?

I have already established a SD IRA with a custodian.I am looking at establishing a SD solo 401k with checkbook control with a provider at lower costs.I also am looking for advice if it is smart to leave my SD IRA with a custodian and pay the higher fees or if I should roll it over to a provider to minimize cost and gain checkbook control.Thank you.

It's not the easiest way to make money, you need to stay on top of the logistics of things, and keep a good relationship with FedEx, but it's steady money, and once the route is established and you have some reliable drivers, it's good income.

These events are a fantastic chance to connect directly with established GPs and operators, learn from them, and forge face-to-face relationships.SponsorNetwork also allows syndicators to submit their offerings for hosted webinars.

If you hate living here due to the neighbor, you think you will have a thriving STR with excellent reviews?

wherever you are looking for land I'd argue it's a bad strategy unless you are buying for pennies on the dollar. where I'm at in columbus ohio there is a 12 months supply of land on the market so it's a buyer's market. unless the market is a seller's market which can be established with a real estate agent (less than 6 months supply on the market, and really I'd say 3 months), then I'd avoid this strategy 

With your experience in mind, I’m going to get established with a few other lenders before I offer on another property and count solely on Constructive.
