I guess I can keep it as a STR and push my way through, it would just be nice if it was something that worked for someone right now and helped me take a step back for a bit, and go back to STR when I have more ability to keep up with it!

After 4-5-6 years then maybe roll them up into a small mulitfamily.Another option if you have the credit and some capital is to buy a 4 unit as owner/occupied and live in one and rent the other 3. 

Plan to make some tenant improvements to push rents closer to market rate for the area.

They'll roll up good reviews quickly and organically.Don't worry about manufacturing reviews.

Will you roll the dice?

When you are new to the game, agents, wholesalers, other investors, and even you can push you around.

In the end you always roll the dice on guests.I don't allow instant booking.

Question, I'm rolling through listings, and of course I see a bunch of rehabs that are identical.

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. 

A FHA 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate) AND because you closed personally, you will not have Asset Protection, in the form of closing in the name of a LLC/ LLC taxed as an S Corp, or an S Corp.
