@Derek BennetsenTo clarify, a Solo 401k is specifically exempted from taxation on Unrelated Debt Financed Income (UDFI) when the plan acquires real property using a mortgage.  

I will tell you how I approach the process and you can go from there.First I get pre-approved for the Refinance loan using a local bank or credit union.  

If the deed says "one hundred eight and 54/100 (108.54) but the town says different - winner goes to the deed.Prior to Survey day, do a lot of role play and rehearsing using a pencil at your kitchen table.

Knowing your exit strategy is set makes the whole thing go smoother.Investors using a FHA or VA loan programs are looking to get into investing with minimum cash to start while also providing a primary residence.  

We will be using a conventional mortgage, putting 5% down, and paying the  Mortgage Insurance upfront at closing.

Try using a bottle of wine and a nice dinner.  

Does anyone know or using a certain hard money lender for fix and flips that offers good rates and trust worthy near the sacramento area? 

What other benefits can I tell seller about using a Lease Option, other than they'd be helping a friend?

However, when you get more properties you really need to consider using a CPA that deals with real estate investors.

One possible strategy that can reduce the risk of a 1031 Exchange is to consider using a Reverse 1031 Exchange transaction.The Reverse 1031 Exchange will allow an investor to spend all the time necessary to search and locate a suitable Replacement Property.
