., you will need a brokerage account.Many brokerage firms will open "free" accounts (i.e. no setup fee, no maintenance fee), which will also come with checkbook access and the ability to wire funds out such that they function as a "hybrid" between a bank and/or brokerage account.If you are looking for names of banks that open bank accounts for Solo 401k plans, there are many banks where we have received positive feedback including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, PNC along with local banks and credit unions just to name a few.

Hi All, I am currently working on finding my first small multi-family property, the plan being to combine the house hack and BRRRR strategies.

Combine several towns and locations together. 

These 9 properties have been a part of an 12 property portfolio that fall under a note of an estimated $1.2m, the asking price of all 9 properties combined is $2,030,900.

@Chad Coleman as others mentioned, it's probably one or several of these factors: priced too high, isn't marketed correctly, doesn't have the right combination of amenities for its area, this is the worst time of year to list, and this is the worst year to list since the recession ...it could be one of those items, all of those items, or a combination...A suggestion:In most markets, price reductions have increased exponentially...however, I constantly see sellers making small, almost meaningless price reductions of 1-2%.

Right now, those who are familiar with the BRRRR method are finding some great deals out there due to a combination of favorable market conditions and their expertise in finding properties at deep discounts.

In fact, you can combine this with an SEO expert, and for relatively few dollars create a powerful and profitable “persona” whereby you have potential listing leads contact you.
