Owner is interested in selling land it’s worth 135k my question is . How do i go about this if he lives out of state

I one had a real estate license (20 some years ago), but all they wanted me to do was open the white pages and make phone calls...needless to say in my mid 20's (before the internet) that wasn't enough action...since the only other real estate experience was owning my own house....I have reading a lot, listening to the podcast, and attending some of the webinars and am soaking it all in....I would like to build for our retirement, just figuring out how i want to do it!!

We're looking in the Garland-McKinney region, or possibly Arlington, but we're still open to other possibilities. 

What if that fund is open to other investors for at least 90 days?

I'd love to connect and discuss the different strategies used and implemented.I’m certainly open to share my property management and investing knowledge that I’ve learnt while working with my family’s real estate investing/property management company.

If you have taken those plan documents to Solera and opened a trust account for your Solo 401(k), then you have a functional plan.Of course, the key to operation and usage of a Solo 401(k) is having access to appropriate guidance, so that you understand what you have, how to administer the plan, and what you can and cannot do as far as executing plan investments so as to remain within the IRS rules. 

I am looking in the North Houston and Conroe/Montgomery area, but open to all of Houston.

Our preference would be not to sign anything tethering us to a single agent, but have it be an open secret with realtors in the area that the house is available-Any insights appreciated!

One of my investor clients bought a large ski house and rents it constantly on Air BNB, she may be open to chatting with you about her experience with that business model and she lives just north of Boston.....hers sleeps ten though, so  a different property than what you're considering.

I would tie your assignment fee to the deal and make sure it is paid at closing.I think that if you try to go around that then it just opens up many doors for people to screw you over and not pay you that assignment fee.
