You can get a Solo 401k with a mainstream brokerage, for example, but would only be able to invest in stocks, bonds & mutual funds sold by the brokerage.A Roth IRA may not be rolled over into a Solo 401k.  

Tennessee is also phasing out the tax on the interest earned on stocks and bonds by the year 2022 (the "Hall income tax"), effectively eliminating the personal state income tax in Tennessee.  

I own the land outright, and do have the funds for the construction.Would you leave the cash in your normal passive investments (mix of bond funds & stock market) and borrow for the construction, or pull the funds out of the investments and pay cash?

well you can thank the internet  sites like BP  late night television evangilist RE guru's webinars podcasts etc etc.. facebook.. linkdin  etc etc. and the burning desire from many to get rich as absolutely quick as possible and some irrational idea that real estate is the way.. take the bar to entry is non existent and you have a lot of beginners.the reason you have all this wholesaler activity is because the market has strengthened and they can't buy a home like they could pre 08 only way to jump in with no money is try to pimp deals.

Hello BP Community,I'm in need of a licensed, bonded and insured electrician who works in the NE Tacoma / Fife Heights area.

If you took pictures at your old GCs work, got several quotes from licensed companies, specified on that quote something like "remove non-compliant newly installed wiring" and have them done the work, then you probably have a bond claim up to $15,000, IF the GC is licensed and bonded -- which I don't see you mention.

Everyone else has left the business because they are sick of the city riding them constantly for everything and the insane bonding they are required to carry.

If you don't know these terms, look them up, it's the best way to learn.Know too that financial ratios do not always apply to real estate because real estate is not a liquid market like stocks, you also have unexpected and unknown carrying costs that don't apply to say stocks or bonds.

Or I could Buy a Corporate Bond that will give me a few percents a year.

Lessons learned:1)Fire a non performing PM early and often ... they NEVER get better.2)Don't buy out of state where you can't verify issues & solutions or easily take control to straighten out a mess if need be.3)Repeated visits for what seems like the same or similar issue are a red flag which should NOT be ignored.4)Use licensed, bonded electricians who pull permits.5)Trust but verify.6)Be careful about who even bids your jobs.
