And finally I try to look at their social media for any red flags.I will also probe them to explain things on their application, and see how responsive they're.

I am starting off slow, currently bird dogging.It is easy for me to find properties but I want to go beyond that and assist in marketing properties once they are under contract (ex: bandit signs and social media marketing).By doing this am I acting in the capacity of an agent or broker?

With my conservative $40,000 dollar a year full time income and my mortgage payment of $1050 a month this leaves me with little buying power to buy a full time investment property.Some other relative info about my financial status is that I have a good to great credit score, I currently have $20,000 available to invest leaving me with a cushion in savings and because of my Airbnb income I am currently able to save about 80% of my full time job income yearly.

@Brandon Swartwood if you are setting up the deal you do not have to meet the accredited investor status to put your own funds into the deal by virtue of being an issuer.

This should save me money on my own future deals, while also helping me gain credibility within the industry and my local area as a serious real estate investor and deal maker.As for my professional background, I have been working as a freelance social media marketing strategist for 7+ years helping B2B companies generate and nurture high-quality leads on LinkedIn.

The property would serve as security for the loan and all payments would flow back to the solo 401k plan and continue to maintain their tax sheltered status.

So you should be aware of that and act accordingly, by making sure you have a way to check on the status of the loan payments regularly.

Investors harp on numbers and create rules, etc. etc....you see huge forums and social platforms like BP, but they are all based on the wrong thing.

Some websites are really slow to update status.
