I've been a reader here for months, but I've not been active on the forum at all.

Like so many others I am an avid reader and a dedicated learner.

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.

As a reader and someone who knows that I can buy a multiple unit in Buffalo for that amount down, I knew that wasn't likely for me.

I  just thought other readers should be aware that for every Rent to Retirment success story there are negative ones. 

I am going to be calling a couple of you Pros on here in the Self Directed Field this next week to decide on a provide but thought these questions might help other readers also.The three main remaining questions come down to this;1) Can a wife & husband who are both owners in the same LLC business, but only one of them takes an income from it (in the form of a K-1) BOTH contribute into the SAME Solo401K account?

It's hard for me (as a reader) to take a "education programs are great" comments seriously if they are also trying to sell versions of those programs. 

I have several tiny morgages on rental properties through a small local bank...i have one that's even a 12,000 mortgage..if you find the right bank/lending officer, you can get the financing as long as you have the 25-30% downpayment that they'll most likely require..if you're interested in learning what a small local bank can do for your business, check out my blog that's linked from my profile (shameless plug, but i want more readers)

Some readers will have the same goal as you and are struggling to figure out how to accomplish it.

I also have no debt (Rich Dad Poor Dad reader) unless you want to count the $500 balance left on my phone into consideration (another mistake I learned from).
