Point is that you can minimize effects of a downturn and/or over saturation by having a property even marginally better than those around you.

If you have a suggestion I’d be interested.I’ve been pitching your last suggestion for the past two years to people who ask.

Many of our first time investors utilize seller financing because it requires minimal downpayment for each investment property.

Passive income preferred, with minimal hands on needed.

and to understand how they fit together in your toolbox, as none will give you everything (e.g, insurance is required and it will cover you for many situations, but not always; asset protection (LLC) is litigation insurance and complements regular insurance, by minimizing the target and making it unappealing).5.

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.

Also if pitching projects, add in the strategy: are you flipping? 

Purchase price: $140K% Down: 25% (I am considering pitching the investment to a friend and making this a cash purchase - any advice regarding this decision is much appreciated!)
