A foreclosure auction is simply a legal process to collect a debt, no representation of clear title, or anything else, is given to any bidder who decides to “enter the fray”....there are risks for the bidders, they have to evaluate those risks and then decide if they want to participate.

I am not aware of any brokerage firm's Solo 401k plans that allow for after tax (Non Roth) contributions and some do not even allow for participant loans.

It cost 5K, so I want to make sure it's not a waste of money or time and that I can't get the same level of information elsewhere or by another mean.The success stories of the participants are encouraging, but is it worth it?

Some features that may not be offered in other plans include participant loans, Roth contributions, after-tax contributions in excess of the deferral limits, and in-plan Roth conversions.

I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

@Eulogio VillasenorIf you are getting an equity split, then you have equity participation in the trade or business transaction. 

Or would that disincentive the best realtors from participating since they wouldn't have an exclusive listing?

I shared in person 2 concerns with my county's Finance Director who oversees the money and the program admin leaders in an event to encourage tenant participation. 

For some reason, my tenant starts paying me around the 25th of the month.Going forward every tenant agrees to LCB participation and reporting.
