Assuming that you're accounting for ALL expenses including vacancy, maintenance, CapEx, insurance, etc., then that is still a low return from the cash flow side of things. 

This would save you a ton with taxes - although it is in your best interest to speak with an accountant who can run the numbers for the different scenarios. 

Agreed, especially for just paint as any established painter will have trade accounts set up.

Here's what I set aside per unit:Taxes:  ~ $100 per monthTurnover expense:  3.5% GSRWater/Sewer/Trash: $30-$45 per monthMaintenance: 12%Cap Ex: 2.5%Overhead: 1%Insurance: ~$25/mo.Debt service (100% leveraged): $350-$400EVERYTHING ABOVE is increased by 10% to account for vacancyAll told, each unit still cash flows between $100 and $200 per month.These are B-/C+ small MF properties.Note I do not pay for management as I self-manage, but that is offset by the increased debt service created by the 100% leverage. 

@Bryan Germann Account Closed has given you some excellent advice.

The solo 401k plan participant may withdraw at any time (after completing a distribution form), all or any portion of her account balance attributable to “rollover contributions” and/or “after-tax contributions.”Employer Contributions: Employer contributions are subject to more stringent distribution rules and may be distributed upon the solo 401k participant’s severance from employment, death, or disability.

Apparently when I signed up, it tried to take the profile picture from my Google account and use that.

We could contract other items such as management and accounting.
