@Dane FitchSelf-directed Solo 401k plan are designed for those who are either self-employed or own a business without any full time employees.

I don't have direct experience with Clayton Morris of Morris Invest, nor his wife Natali, but I have followed them for years as broadcasters and technology pundits.They have both been featured guests on This Week in Tech (TWIT) for years, and both held various jobs in the mainstream tech media before starting to build platforms of their own.I was bemused when two of my usually separate spheres of interest (tech and real estate) seemed to converge, as Clayton and Natali started pivoting from tech to real estate.They are thoughtful, entrepreneurial folks, and good at building awareness and interest.

I'm not a sue happy guy, I've had to go down road, but I'd be looking into it, or at the least any cost/losses caused by this comes directly out of his portion which would likely mean he gets nothing from the sale, and the rest of you take less of a haircut.

Hi all,I found a condo directly across the street from a metro stop.

Definitely unskilled labor if you don't want to do it yourself, so should easily be able to find someone to do it for $12-15 hr. 

Im sure they have a strong network and may be able to send you in the right direction.

And I would pay the note directly to the bank (on the first of each month) and always provide proof of payment to the seller which is a benefit for both and I currently manage two properties for my mother so I'm not exactly brand new to real estate.

You won't really be directly competing for those tenants.

If I'm working directly with a seller/owner I never use an agent.
