I’m here to connect, learn, and contribute to this fantastic community.

If I directly hold rental properties under the 401k, and only use this account for operating activities, I need to be able to send out wires for property earnest money and down payments, and also provide the account number to my property manager if I need to make a contribution or if they give me monthly rental distributions.

I'm also trying to max out my 401k contribution so I can have that as  pre-tax money.

so The investors and I are splitting the 50% based on how much we contribute  

-Sauna-Hot Tub-Patio/courtyard (large cement tiles on crushed bluestone with lighting, natural gas line to bbq)-Secondary patio off primary suite-Losing sq feet in the primary bedroom to enlarge the bathroom-High grade cabinets-Appliances with cabinet fronts-High end appliances (Viking/Miele instead of GE Cafe)-Outdoor shower (teak box walls with a dry well beneath the footprint)-Wiring for Cat6 to every room-Wiring for surround speakers (or including the speakers that are built into the walls)-Sonos whole-home audio system-Hardwired cameras (with on-site storage) to the exterior of the house-Smart features: thermostats are a given, but how about light fixtures, switches, aromatherapy, fans ... anything else?

Building Equity: Part of your rent can contribute to the eventual purchase, helping you accumulate equity.Cons: Risk of Losing Money: If you decide not to buy at the end of the lease, you might lose the option fee and any rent premiums.

Actually, the combination of all that you mentioned contributes to it. 

In an urban market, level of finish and proximity to an attraction or location contribute significantly to demand for a specific home.

This produced a shortage of houses available to rent and contributed to the ability of investors to raise rents.
