I agree with @Jonathan Greene here that the first step is thinking through what to do with the primary residence - you might try this tool that I built a few months ago to analyze whether you should keep or sell the primary residence! 

BP has various tools to help you analyze your deals (rentals, flips, wholesale, etc). : https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators7.

I’ve been diligently looking and analyzing deals for over a year and have not come across anything that pencils out.

Any rule of thumb to use while analyzing?

As Jaycee said, there are countless ways to generally analyze potential investments.

Run your own numbers and make an offer that works for you on EVERY property you analyze.

If so, you will need to rollover those funds into respective money sources of pre-tax and Roth. 2) Analyzing whether to use IRA or Solo 401(k), is fairly straight forward, when the intent is for you to have your own business and want to use the funds for real estate investing.

On top of that, If there is something else I want to know, it is pretty easy to adjust the spreadsheet, and use it over and over and over as I analyze deals.
