@Louis Mannikko  if your 401k is a solo 401k that you control.. you may want to look at investing NOtes or with a HML.. this is a very good use for those funds.on the fix and flip you may want to consider partnering up.. just make sure whoever you partner with is vetted thourougly.. plenty of " my idea and your Money guys out there" you can go on amazon or E bay.Look for any of the guru's written material and videos you can get those for next to nothing. look through them there are usually nuggets in each one that you can use.you can also spend untold hours on BP asking questions and reading and listening to pod casts etc.. of course this is free and just depends on if you have the time for that.

Level 2 River White Granite and Venetian Gold Granite are two other options I'm looking at...The home is a rental property which I'll either move back into or sell in 2-5 years.This is the wall and floor colorThis is the kitchen with the old cabinets..Cabinet uppers and lowers are going in painted white.You can see where he island will go

never mind the pink tub and toilet, are those GOLD walls?

It's mostly laws and regulations so would highly suggest buying a book (I got the one from Gold Coast) and just attending whatever accredited school that falls in your budget.

I have an eye for numbers. and I live in a city with tons of property for sale cheap. I've found no fewer than 9 multi family dwellings that are ripe for the plucking but I'm so broke I can't afford a free phone call....
