Perhaps I'm not asking more specific questions about that, but you definitely gave me a title/role that I will look into.

I wasn't sure how much to expect from the title company in resolving this.

OP.Use the lookup function, my name and read any post of mine that the title starts with Self Storage.

Perhaps going to the local building department or title company to see who the big land buyers are in your area would be helpful for starting to discuss the idea with someone nearby?

If you are not rolling over to a custodian, but just changing the plan administrator and recordkeeper, you should be able to retain the titling of the investments, which may simplify the process. 3) You should be able to retain the current bank account for the Solo 401(k), but may need to switch to a banking partner that is more compatibly with the Solo 401(k) platform you use. 4) If you have a self-directed brokerage account tied to the Solo 401(k), you may need to make some adjustments there. 

You're not obligated to take his solution.I would tell Title you expect your full EMD back. 

Hey Mike I wanted to know if I wanted to seel you my home with seller financing and I  wanted to transfer title to you the buyer. unlike contract for deed WHAT is the instrument they use in Wisconsin.

But the answer for everyone may differ.Here are the personal attributes I see in those able to achieve a higher than market ROI, enough higher to be able to “scale”.1- Knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance2- Minimum 3 -5 years full time, or near full time experience directly related to real estate investing3- Ability to utilize technology for increased efficiency, capacity, and accuracy4- Excellent hired legal counsel and excellent hired marketing help5- Established method(s) of obtaining consistently high QUALITY deal flow6- Ability to manage and choose people who are NOT employees: Attorneys, Appraisers, Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Brokers, Title Companies, Surveyors, Marketing Specialists, Accountants, Contractors, Consultants, Property Managers7- A VERIFIABLE track record of success8- Ability to identify, analyze, and negotiate a deal that can be “worked” for “enhanced” ROI9- Some type of competitive advantage; for example for me it’s my ability to analyze and identify mortgage loans that are actually less risky than all other lenders believe (on the investing in debt side), and on the real property side it’s my ability to analyze”pull the trigger” with LESS information than other investors need,  combined with the ability to pay cash, or raise significant capital almost instantly as well as being able to obtain loans at the lowest prime customer bank rate with no recourse or personal liability.  

Either way if you personally guaranteed the note, yes it will affect your personal credit no matter who the property is titled to.

Title issues tend to be the fact pattern where properties are truly not financeable but that's rarely the case when you see the "cash only" adverts.Ultimately, proceeds will be transferred through a title company and its not as if the buyer is showing up with a duffel bag filled with cash.
