I've watched youtube, and read blogs, but finally decided to jump in.So one of the things I've been doing is looking over the MLS, and specifically trying to find properties that already have tenants, and are within my price range (leveraged cash deal). 

lol.Or you can add a gas range, water heater, furnace and dryer but no 220v circuits and it's now "not" a multifamily??

I'm interested in topics ranging from newbie real estate rental investing, to passive income and financial freedom, to success mindset, to personal growth. 

So I'm very interested in a unique building in a small touristy town and have been trying to finance it without any luck so far.

We always hear that our rental is one of if not the nicest they have seen in their price range. 

But truly self-directed Solo 401k offers really unique benefits/advantages and can be used in conjunction with your other assets to help you build wealth.

We told her that we were interested in beginning our real estate investing endeavor, told her our market, and price range and she went to work for us.

That means you are not in an "A" area no matter how you define it.I would say homes in the 190k to 300k range are going to be closer to what you are discussing and thinking as top class investments. 

The deal she described was out of my range and I decided to pass on the spot. 

If the property is in my target area, within my price range, and I can create value I buy.
