All I've gotten is the secondhand knowledge that she would pay for the plumbing issue (her plumber quoted much lower for the job than the plumber my PM/Contractor showed the sewer scope too, and no plumbers have been in yet to look at the issue in person, should happen Monday.)One last question which i will also attempt to research on my own, how would i best find the land value?  

To the best of my knowledge, I do not believe that I am qualify for Solo401K but will validate my understanding with my CPA in my upcoming session.3- Yes, you are correct.

I would be happy to sit for a coffee, maybe lend some knowledge and discuss the market, the opportunities, the challenges and pitfalls.

I wouldn’t state any final decision on family until I talked to someone knowledgeable about Fair Housing and your local occupancy codes.

The best thing an out of town investor can do is develop strong relationships with locals who are active and knowledgeable in the real estate investment world in STL.

[Update: @Denise Evans , just learned you can make edits to your posts, you may want to go back and remove the errant info you posted as to not spread misinformation, especially as it looks like people are leaning into to you as someone who is very knowledgeable on these matters.] 

You may have to give some equity, but the network you will build and knowledge you will gain will outweigh the equity portion in my opinion. 

You'll have to convince private money investors you have the knowledge, skills, talents, expertise and drive to help their money do just that. 

I've got a 7 year old daughter as well who wants to own mansions lol. smh I believe there’s a huge opportunity to empower more young people with the knowledge and tools they need to get started in real estate investing.

Once you have that general knowledge, the key is to gain market-specific information about the territory in which you intend to work.
