I am tight on cash right now as I started investing 3 years ago and have been actively buying and updating my properties. 

We've been active in Kansas City for several years.

How much sales activity is going on in my neighborhood?

There are several specialty advisory firms that are active here on BP that provide and SUPPORT quality Solo 401(k) plans, and that will be a much better service as well as a much better value in the long term.

As an independent insurance agent and active investor I woulnd't recommend this business model regardless of which hat I'm wearing.

Working in South Carolina will allow me to have a "safer" job that will keep me less actively working while on shift.

However, we weren’t actively looking for anything at the moment.

-someone who is actively looking for their first deal :-)p.s. hope this help you channel us newbs

You should get plenty of answers, because there are a lot of SDIRA providers that actively contribute to BP. 

Having $3MM of dry powder during a potential downturn is EXACTLY where I'd want to be, not invested in a property that is simply treading water, especially in a more expensive market.I am of course assuming a downturn, but there is no denying that even very active money (i.e. more time available to spend on adding value) is having a difficult time finding quality deals today.
