We are currently preparing my real estate strategy, of course using the Bigger Pockets Strategy book, as a previous business owner in another industry, there’s a lot of good and refreshing information here in this Strategy book. 

If the home is occupied, there's usually 1 group showing scheduled, so you'll want to come prepared with your comps and ARV. 

More preparation on the parcels i'm working on.

Maybe preparing to pivot.

@Tina Artigliere@Alicia ProkosFor these Quest Solo 401k plan account holders, what is essential is to find a new Solo 401k plan provider who offers a Solo 401k plan with the service and features that the account holder needs such as Solo 401k loans, alternative investments, Roth and Mega Backdoor Roth Solo 401k contributions, 5500-EZ & 1099-R preparation and filing, etc.The process entails restating the Quest Solo 401k plan where the Quest Solo 401k plan documents are replaced with the Solo 401k plan documents of the new Solo 401k provider.

I would like to think in a way that investment in general, and the real estate investment, start with a solid economic reason - "Why do you Invest, where you invested".To elaborate on below - Vegas is a great example where no real economic driver exists and when you invest there, you should be aware that is a highly volatile market (side note: i both 2 properties there in 2011 and 2012 and i sold both this year) and you should pay an extra attention and be prepare to reposition capital.It's clear, if you invest in Vegas or Orlando (just 2x entertainment cities) you will expect ups and downs and you need to position yourself with extra reserves and extra caution if you are planning to stay in these market for long term.
