Period, end of story. 

DLP Housing fund and DLP Building communities fund = They are suppose to be really tax efficient but I am considering using the solo 401k as an investment vehicle. 

Both can save time and improve efficiency, depending on how hands-on you want to be. 

For me rent is due on the 1st with a 5 day grace period.

Perhaps....but   the person relocating to any given market and who has to make a purchase in a finite period of time is generally the least likely candidate to get a great deal on the purchase, meaning the appreciation is even more important. 

At times, the seller may back out, we may uncover bad things about the property during the due diligence period which will cause us to back out of the deal, or financing may fall through.What makes it even worse, we, as investors, may incur some soft costs (costs incurred prior to closing) which end up being sunk costs.However, as investors, we are relentless in our pursuit of cash-flow.

Referrals are by far the most efficient, economical and profitable way to do business.

I just wanna make sure, the 10+ years lock-in period is making me a bit anxious.  

Run the calculations on the expense of doing a refi at a slightly reduced rate vs. keeping the current loan for whatever period of time you think you will hold this house.

Shadow Ln exemplifies the power of efficient teamwork and strategic market execution.
