Gained a couple of pounds in the last 4 years, but has a little more muscle too.I'm 4 years older, which is not a good thing, but I'm a little wiser now.I'm a big fan of Paul Ryan before I knew which party he belonged to.

@Amy RanaeHere are considerations in choosing a Solo 401k provider and bank to provide the account:Solo 401k Bank Account Considerations:Here are some general considerations:If you want access to bank checks, a debit card and/or the ability to ACH funds out, you will need a bank, credit union etc. rather than a brokerage.There are 100s of banks and credit unions that have opened accounts for a Solo 401k.Keep in mind that the bank's role is limited to simply providing the account (i.e. no tax reporting, no recordkeeping, etc.) such you may wish to de-prioritize familiarity with Solo 401k plans and focus on other things that are important to you (i.e. branch locations, fees, etc.).If you want the ability to invest in stocks, mutual funds, etc., you will need a brokerage account.Many brokerage firms will open "free" accounts (i.e. no setup fee, no maintenance fee), which will also come with checkbook access and the ability to wire funds out such that they function as a "hybrid" between a bank and/or brokerage account.If you are looking for names of banks that open bank accounts for Solo 401k plans, there are many banks where we have received positive feedback including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, PNC along with local banks and credit unions just to name a few.

Like anything, it's not about the game it's about the practice so you have muscle memory to make the right decision in the game without thinking.If you look at anyone at the top of their field they have some type of coach and/or mentor, no brainer in my opinion.

They only charge a small $2 ACH transaction fee which either you can pay or the tenants can pay (autopay options, even pay with credit card), features a maintenance portal, background screening options, expenses, report sheets, signature system for lease agreements/notices, essentially all the features you could want.I've saved well over $20k in the past 5 yrs by self-managing.
