If you use almost all of your money to buy a property and the next months you don't have renters and something needs to be fixed, you will end up setting yourself back instead of getting ahead.

Here is a list of lender who specialize in this field:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/2810/50272-lis...The bottom line is this: Solo 401k is powerful investment vehicle but you misunderstanding the use of it.

Focus on what's ahead of you right now, what you can control, and what you can do... and then when the next step comes.. do it!   

Keeping the clauses high level and generic allows you to get ahead of any crap your tenants can think up.

Once you decide to go ahead with this plan, then you will need to decide the equity split - 50/50 or otherwise and get with a local attorney to pick up the best structure for legal protection.

Well, then it seems that the list of things dropped to about 3 and we went ahead and did those and the deal closed.

I am very interested in using real estate as an investment vehicle and I want to get started early.

Lesson learned.I ran it by the agent and said I'd like some language protecting me in case the roof isn't fixed in a timely manner as it may prevent lender from giving the go ahead.

I hope this message finds you all under budget and ahead of schedule!!
