A bit ironic as I think most on here would agree that the majority of agents don't understand/participate in real estate investing.

I would love to participate!

@Tyler HoganYour (or your father's) 401k can get financing on a property it owns, but that doesn't help you (or your father) get access to funds for investment outside of the plan.Using your 401k assets or loan proceeds personally would be a prohibited transaction unless a participant loan was taken from the plan.

The Solo 401k will likely be the better structure for you if you're eligible, which requires self-employment.A few Solo 401k benefits:Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly ten times higher.There is no custodial requirement for the 401k.You can take participant loans from the plan.You don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook control.There is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not both.A spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k plan.The Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverage.

I see that you have been a member since 2016, what took you so long to finally participate in this awesome resource?

A friend told me that he once participated in a deal where there was once six people getting a check at the closing table.

The Solo 401k also offers a lot of benefits over any IRA when it comes to using the account such as the ability to borrow from the account, contribution limits about ten times higher, spousal participation, built-in Roth components, and additional tax benefits.

For all the Denver people here, (and anyone else that might want to participate) can we look at a deal together?

I believe with the yield available from purchasing performing notes generally being below our target, and with the risk and pricing too high for most non performing offered, and so many hard money lenders originating in single digit interest rates, that we needed to get creative to invest our money for our portfolio to yield our targeted return, without increasing our risk.Yup some of my best deals are as lender with a participation component..

Participating on a lower level helps one build both reputational capital and money capital!
