Hello Shelly, Good luck on your journey. 

If you are hoping that this property will stand on its own with you living in it and not having to put your active income into it, then it might not be the best option for you right now. 

What's the activity level been like?

My guess is that our situation is different; different end goals, W2 income, home prices, market conditions, strategies, etc... but I can share my journey and what I look for in my current market along with prices. 

I don't know how many BP members in active status down here near Northfield or further south but I would be interested in meeting them as well.

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

In Central Jersey where the majority of our sales activity is, the towns vary widely in enforcement of this. 

Can you wholesale a deal that is active with a real estate agent?
