The idea of offering bird dog services in the Akron/ Canton Ohio area is one that I have been considering for some time now.

@Matthew CopelandTax Liens and Crowd Funding are pretty much the best options for a smaller account.Most investors will work within the standard financial services space to grow their savings and then switch to a self-directed account once they have the type of funding necessary to participate in more significant non-traditional assets such as real estate and notes.

I've never had to file a claim, but I have had good prices and service so far from Travelers insurance. 

I would never ever pay for a service, I do not believe they can analyze the nuances that I can.

Yeah, I'm stuck on choosing for long term, which we fully intend to develop with other services that we currently offer, and will be able to offer in the long run, and the quick and dirty easy to remember name.

I used Buildium software, which has a listing feature, and that lists the units on Zillow, Apartment List, and Rental Path, and then from there other services pick up the ads and repost them.

I hear the guests and hosts on the podcast talk about giving a letter ratings to neighborhoods.

@Mark SpritzWhile in the the year that you open the solo 401k plan you need to be merely pursuing self-employment activity (see IRS Publication 560 which lists this specific language), it is important to note that generally in order to continue with the solo 401k plan you must continue to to perform "material services" with the intent to generate earned income from self-employment.

The title of my last post seemed as if I was offering a service so I reposted.
