What trades do you need?

-Worked overtime and saved about 10k in 6 month -Put that 10k into the stock market-traded stocks & stock options (puts and calls) for about 7 months - a friend taught me how to trade options.

I like those kinds of deals versus showing a high cap with an over inflated leases on the books that might trade down.  

The other looming issue is they often trade wrong.

After that I plan to buy a property every year as a rental and trade up for mini apartments and so on.

there are thousands of 4 plexs in PHX many went through foreclosure about 5 to 6 years ago and were trading for less than 100k per 4 plex with rents at 2400 gross.these are probably bounced back to about 150 to 200k... they peaked in 07 at 350k FYII knew many bay area folks who bought them at 350.. .there was a RE agent in PHX Linda Gercheck who brought her RE broker team to the bay area and did fly buy program and as stated she killed it in 05 to 07.. 

I picked up my real estate license to do my own trades and would highly recommend it once you start looking for multiple properties. 

Trade a plane for me 

@Cameron PriceOne typically does not just "setup" their own Solo 401k plan.There are firms that specialize in these plans with a focus on the plan being self directed as opposed to a Solo 401k offered by a brokerage firm that will be limited to publicly traded assets.  

Probably the affidavit route is the best way to go, although you'll have to pay a non-trivial amount to get contractors to sign off on work that they didn't do ($500+ per trade in my experience).Re: the violations--I know at least a few people in the city that you would need to speak to.
