To enable a sort of "disruption" of a field, it is necessary to let go of any established rules of the field and view it as a completely new and naked playing field.

Hey @Kadijah Hammond, I agree with Nimral.In my experience, to do flipping well, you should have a great relationship with a hard money lender / investor, or start out with cash.Wholesaling enables you to get your feet wet, with minimal liabilities, all while understanding the process.

So it only makes sense to move those funds into self-directed account which will enable you to have virtually limitless investment choices.You say that by "using 50% leverage in self-directed 401k diminishes returns"...

Patrick Anibaldi , depending on how much equity you have in your 1st home, you can do a cash out refi or HELOC and consider private lending as well.This will enable you to invest in local real estate with decent returns and not have to worry about managing the property or pay someone else to, which can cut into the profits.

I also seek to add value to investors by enabling them to find and invest in great cash flow properties, while maximizing their time, as well as their profitable revenue.By joining BiggerPockets, my goal is to establish a network of professionals who can aid in my growth within the real estate realm, while also finding ways that I am able to add value to those within BiggerPockets' network who may have a need for any opportunity that I may have available. 

That will enable you to get started faster on your life's goals.   

Failure to do so enables the tenant to plead ignorance of the law as a defense."

my rule, others may say otherwise but I'm not in the volume game, real estate is my current Business, and I prefer quality over quantity.....just fits my style best.
