Our tools are a reflection of our ability to rationalize...This, in turn, is where the competitive advantage is.Think about it.

PROS of a Solo 401(k) with no Custodian: 1) Freedom of checkbook control, ability to more easily move funds in and out of a bank account in the name of the Solo 401(k). 2) In some cases, lower fees. 3) Ability to more easily link your Solo 401(k) to bank account systems like rental property management systems, or if investing in real estate syndication platforms. 

Cashflow, ability to build a team, landlord tenant laws, price to rent ratio etc.......were all factors in the decision making process almost a decade ago.Now,  I wonder why your approach is an either or view? 

And those also only have a limited ability at best to generate a balance sheet, which you generally want to include on a 1065 return.came here looking for answers to exactly this question, and David is correct re: why.

My challenge is that the equity is siloed in a high number of properties which complicates our ability to draw against it and leverage that for operational and investment purposes.Do you all know of banks willing to work with investors and able to underwrite at the portfolio level, rather than having to apply for and open HELOCs on a per-property basis?

You also have the ability to re-amortize the loan to suit your timeline.Let’s say I have a $500,000 interest-only mortgage on a property.

@Lilia Very refreshing to see such a positive attitude and ability to bounce back, I am sure you will succeed in your investing journey

That'll affect your pre approval and ability to buy. 

It's been so bad here, that I bought an STR in Indiana with another business partner in 2024 because there are minimal opportunities here - unless you have the ability and budget to extensively source off market properties here.  

I have the ability to cover all the expenses if there is vacancy, which this property has low vacancy.
