This is as far as I can tell a completely legitimate Family Daycare which in TN qualifies for childcare for up to 7 children at a time.

As long as you can find a legitimate cash buyer in your area who wants the deal, you can help the seller and get yourself paid!

Self-employment to qualify for a Solo 401(k) does not need to be significant, just legitimate and something you will continue doing for some time.A self-directed plan cannot be used to capitalize your own rental business.  

I want my contract to be legitimate, but not intimidating or full of unnecessary forms.  

I'll try my hand at setting one up if people would like to give ideas on venue.  

Hi I live in the Monterey area and can drive by to see if they have a legitimate office in the area and send you pictures and even drive by the property to make sure it is indeed vacant and not already rented out.

I had to have an on-site inspection to prove that I had a legitimate office (a segregated room in my home) and a way of securing tenants' applications (in a locked filing cabinet).

You can be sued for tieing up property, but you can avoid this with a legitimate contract. 

Only Caveat with this is you have to make sure the person behind the contract is legitimate and honest and has your best interest along with the other parties involved in the transaction.  

If you had no ownership interest, you wouldn't actually be transferring anything to the buyer with a QCD (which I suppose was your point in a way).But they do have legitimate uses.
