@Mark SpritzWhile a Solo 401k may or may not be a better structure for you based on your situation, the additional benefits (beyond contribution limits and loans) include the following:-No custodial requirement-No need for LLC cost and admin to have checkbook control-Built in Roth-Spousal participation-UDFI exemptionsThe cost comparison depends on what providers you are looking at for each.

For comparison, here are my numbers from postcards sent last month to targeted and filtered absentee owners in the Sacramento market: Postcards sent: 3713Total calls: 23Leads (defined as anyone with a house they want to sell): 20Lead rate: 0.54%Cost/lead: $72.40Now, most of those leads aren't much good.

The OP is about comparison of invest in OOS TK or dividend stock.I think you are lost.

It was quite eye opening experience to her when I took her to Chicago and Miami and she could see the money and wealth and she realized that by comparison we had a long way to go.She understands why I am not satisfied with just being upper middle class.

My other obstacle is the 2/1 comp, for which there is very little inventory in my area to make a fair comparison.

Also I am in the market for a lender in the Tennessee area to get comparisons if anyone has recommendations.

The first floor was fairly bare by comparison.

But I can certainly do comparisons with other nearby long-term rentals on AirBnB, and the 4BR places seem to be heavily booked.

Looking forward to seeing the comparison/ differences nation wide..Key Words: Philadelphia, New Jersey, South Jersey, New York, Miami, Florida, Delaware, Pennsylvania, South Jersey, Maryland, Baltimore, California, Denver, Chicago, Phoenix, Washington DC, Camden, Manhattan   

@Richard Ladenberg the conventional rule to use rental income on a property you are purchasing is that the appraisal that is ordered on the property will include a rental comparison report.
