After the $80k outlay, most of the major mechanicals will be good for the next 7-10 years.

You may wish to confirm that the new 401k provider has experience with the particular investments in which you intend to invest your retirement funds as you very likely will have questions in terms of the mechanics (e.g. how do you invest in real estate, etc.).3.

The mechanics of a home equity loan vs a HELOC aren't as favorable, for my needs anyway.

Second progress payment of $15,100 will be collected after all framing and mechanical is completed and inspected by the City of Los Angeles inspector.   4​.

Probably not, but it's got a little stretch of commercial on 1st from Meade to Knox that will be interesting to watch and see if it evolves from the tire shops and mechanics shops it is now. 

After a few months of doing this, I got the first property under contract...There's probably better recipes for success, but I'll boil it down to this (assuming you understand the other mechanics involved).1.

@Scott SmithYou can absolutely put cash in a SDIRA to work in conventional assets.The mechanics of doing so will depend on your plan provider and plan structure.If you have a checkbook IRA, the LLC entity just opens a brokerage account.If you do not have checkbook control, you would work with your IRA custodian for this process.Having a smaller stock account within an IRA that holds real estate is OK. 

@James Perdomo most impactful starting out we’re Rich Dad Poor Dad, Millionaire Real Estate Investor, Richest Man in Babylon and The Go-Giver to get the mindset and mechanics of investing set.

This is for an existing rental, major mechanicals are across the board in ages, condition varies, but I am avoiding overtly distressed property.

But given my short timeline, single family is fine: I just still don't understand the single family profit mechanism.
