Just let me know if you would like to schedule a phone consultation at any point to have a deeper discussion on some of these topics.Zach

BP provides great information, but it's very easy to slip into the category of "thinkers" rather than "doers" if you delve into every forum post about virtual investing here. 

So I'm getting deeper with this potential rental and numbers are looking OK without specifics yet from the seller so, I'm looking to the BP experts on specific questions I need to ask of the seller.

I understand how the basics of those rules but once you all go deeper into the interest rates I get a little lost in all the numbers.

Take those properties and dig in a little deeper.

Before I dive into this deeper, I wanted to get a honest opinion from fellow investors.A beautiful piece of land (1acre) just popped up on the market for below market value in the cottage country in Northern Ontario.

Start digging deeper into the numbers.Once you find a Realtor have them run a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) to establish a good ARV/Fair Market Value for the property.Is $179K the asking price?  

Sometimes we find problems with properties as we dig deeper into them.  

Hello All,I've almost been getting more and more confused the deeper I go into the self directed Solo 401k/IRA information.I have 3 accounts from my past employment that include a 401k, a Safe Harbor IRA, and money in a regular brokerage account that was a employee stock purchase plan.

That is to say if a property is $1M, it should gross at least $100k annually.Personally my own tolerances are tighter than that (I would want 150k on a $1M purchase so 15% to even start digging in deeper) but the closest thing to an accepted 1% rule in LTR's is the 10% rule in STRs.
