In case you are eligible for the Solo 401k, here are some of the benefits it would offer compared to a self-directed IRA:Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly ten times higher than IRA limitsThere is no custodial requirement for the 401kYou don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook controlThere is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not bothA spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k planThe Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverageThe penalties for prohibited transactions are less severe, though it's best not to utilize this benefit :)

@HJ WangIf your spouse is employed by sponsoring entity, she can participate in the 401K plan.

I think iBuyers are a valuable participant in a healthy housing market.

I would recommend continuing with your education (read books, listen to podcasts, participate in BP forums, attend meet-ups, etc.).

The capital interest participates immediately in some portion of the LLC’s existing value.

other investment opportunities (other than a flat out loan at a favorable interest rate) seem pretty fraught with peril as you will need your sister's consent and participation to take any action that would allow you to realize any gain, including a refi or property sale.   

But, if inflation outpaces rising rates or demand continues to outstrip supply, then valuations would not necessarily drop if you see increased rents that continue to pay for the increased costs of borrowing.Of course, while inflation may save you from seeing lower valuations, the purchasing power of all our money has gone down, but you will still be doing better than someone who didn't participate in inflated earnings.

Before the end of 2020, I was invited to participate as a GP on an 88 unit and we closed on it.
