@Rahul B.You can, in a certain sense, have the best of both worlds.A Solo 401(k) plan is a great vehicle for new contributions and the tax savings you receive.  

What vehicle and strategy would you advice for someone who is willing to invest $60k into real estate?

Dead equity only saves you the prevailing interest rate where as other vehicles can usual more than double that return.

Tax rates would have to double.Since you essentially have a tax-free loan of the government's money, putting it to work in a tax-free vehicle is the best of both worlds.

In the future, I may leave half in the savings account (for immediate access) and put the other half in a lower-liquidity vehicle like short-term CDs or treasury bonds with the reasoning that the likelihood of needing all the reserves at once is probably low so might as well have some of it earning interest. 

The one I'm focusing on now is my current vehicle.

These interrogatory letters are very precise in format.In NY, the garnishment is collected by Marshall's, in Indiana, the Sheriffs office.

I also don't fully get how a petition signed by less than 1/2 of one percent (0.3% to be precise) of the property owners it represents is enough to even get to this point, but that's a different issue.

There are also other vehicles to achieve what you're looking for but that's another story.

That's not to say there aren't risks involved, there are always risks in rentals.This is precisely what I want to start doing... would love to connect.
