You say diversification is important but your portfolio crams virtually all of your nest egg into the real estate sector. 

What you found is a property (example) that you shouldn't invest in.Here are some suggestions of your nest steps and concepts to follow:1 - Focus on getting a good deal...not a property. 

thats a nice alternative to get you in the game while you keep exploring.I am pretty conservative by nature .. and I dont think I would risk my nest egg in the manner your talking about. so many things can go wrong..

Nest time your in town we should definitely grab some famous Memphis BBQThis coming May I'm hosting a property tour, and I'd love for you to make it!

I am extremely interested in Buying and Holding, with the hopes of building a nest egg.

Yes a solo 401k plan can invest in tax liens and many investors do to grow their nest eggs.  

Concerned because I know it is risky, and don't want to lose my nest egg.I welcome advice.Thanks,Robin
