Warren Buffet owns vast amounts of trailer parks, Clayton Homes and Vanderbilt Financing - there is a niche there for the vast majority of the US public going down the toilet but want to do it fashionably.

The U.S. was still cheaper.I don't know how Singapore can even be a possibility unless you are independently wealthy as they were rated I think # 6 most expensive city for real estate in the world recently.When I lived in the Emirates there was a ton of development in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that was very fashionable to purchase/invest in.

Be OK with a modest ROI on your first deal or two, working hard for them, and focus on learning -- the old fashioned way. 

The monthly income will be less, but if you can make the deal work when underwriting it in this fashion, then it is probably a deal worth pursuing.   

For me, even as a former IT guy, I still do it somewhat the old fashion way.

Kinda like paying extra for (fashionable) torn jeans :)The monthly rent?  

Institutional accounts are slow to setup, and none of the exchanges really provide a means to contact someone to check on the status of an application or obtain help.You have to establish an institutional exchange account that ties back to the Solo 401(k) in some fashion, either directly in the 401k trust or via a LLC that is wholly owned by the 401(k). 

Can anybody tell me that they have had success with Ameraco or do I have to continue the old fashioned way to build my buyer's list?

@William Hochstedler  the tension was more because he brought two friends, unannounced and not introduced, plus he was dressed in all out drug dealer fashion as if uncloaking from the appearance he had presented to me previously.

Thanks to all of the classy and intelligent people who can convey the good, the bad and the ugly in a good spirited and enlightening fashion.
