Years and years ago, The only problem is that ive always been doing it for some one else making some one else wealthy while i go scraping the bucket for the left over scraps on the bottom and to be quite honest im just fed up with it .....

My Solo 401k has 2 components; a Traditional 401k bucket which is not tax-exempt and then a Roth 401k bucket which is tax-exempt. 

Just something to keep in mind regarding timing your visits....might want to get there before Fall, lest you get caught in a long escrow and then might have to wait until Spring to find tenants at the optimal rent.While I am in agreement with you that the winter we see a much lower tenant demand I don't see something as small as a slightly longer vacancy period as relevant to making an investment this large.In the grand scheme of an investor's time buying & holding an investment property what time of the month they purchased it 1 time is less than a drop in the bucket.

They are a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things but those costs are higher.My calculator runs approx 10 exit strategies and I evaluate it from there.

In addition, just put everything into buckets and hand it off to a CPA.

Linens/furniture would go in its own bucket as furnishings and be written off a different way.

Kept a bucket in the attic to catch water the first 3 months.

I had about 30 million in credit lines for my hard money company 8 with them and they were the only ones who kept my line every other one called them.. so we were put out of business and this bank lowered it to 4 million but I was just happy to have enough to make a living when things got so bad.. so that's my long winded story.. is there potential to grow then whats 24k its a drop in the bucket in the larger picture.

We filled a 5 gallon bucket one time from water dripping.

My tenant caused damage by leaving carpets with excessive cat urine and vomit all over, burnt holes in it with hot coals in a plastic bucket and pretty much never vacuumed stairs, cleaned shower etc etc.She wanted some TV wires back that she left so she was organizing a painter to come and fill the holes and repaint them.
