@Waylon GatesThere are many reasons the Solo 401k is the preferred structure.Contributions limits are roughly 10x higher, there is no custodial requirement for the 401k, you can take participant loans, you don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook control, there is a built in-Roth component, a spouse can participate, there are additional tax benefits, there is generally greater privacy, and the plans are often quicker to setup and cost less money over time especially compared to most IRA LLCs.

The first piece of advice that I would offer up is to really get an understanding of what your exact goals are, and then be specific about defining your investing strategy. 

I am trying to define what I am looking for, my avatar for a buy and hold investment in Rio Rancho, NM.

I do not have a particular plan as of yet but I believe by saving your money and timing is two important components to get into investing.  

If you don't mind sharing, I'm curious as to how the deal is defined and what the numbers are.

These are all terms defined by the Colorado Real Estate Commission. 

I think had I gone active component I may have done that but I took the reserve route.Thomas S.

They also email the guest the code at a time you define before their check-in.

One idea you have not defined, which you don't have to share publicly, is your desired return target.  

I presume that you have a signed lease with defined ending dates, so it seems that you could indeed hold onto the security deposit past the normal 21 days as the lease still has several months to go.
