I'm new to real estate investing, but have thrown myself into learning as much as I can by joining a Veteran based investment community, have been working with my realtor and looking daily for potential multi family properties in the Dallas area for house hacking, which I've set myself an deadline to be completed by May.

I would invest in a base model Sundance or Jacuzzi brand.  

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

There is risk with any investment, anywhere, but airbnb does well here - if you buy the right place.Locations: this is important.

These were investments, the value of the assest are there, its the liquid that ran short and had to resort to credit cards to fix up the propertyYou spent $50k from savings, borrowed $50k from a 401k, and are paying it back over five years at around 7.5% interest, then borrowed another $40k from credit cards and are paying that back at around 8% interest, maybe more.

A little history on my investment real estate journey if we can call it that….Back in 2005 my wife and I bought our very first home when we were 24/25, 3 Bed, 1 ½ bath 1500 sqft single family home for $167,000.

I don't know a single broker who would allow an agent to wholesale while hanging their license at their firm.

Very solid market, been investing there over 10 yrs and the rents continue to climb! 

You'll likely want to evaluate the investment with UDFI tax figured in.The Solo 401k trust would make the payments to the seller/lender and would also pay for any investment-related expenses.
