We are interested in learning more about how to invest in real estate.

I am new to all this and we have only had our Airbnb for a couple of months so I hate to set up and pay for something while we are just getting our feet wet.

In short, it may be more valuable to pursue areas where the cash flow isn't as strong on paper because it's made up for in other problems you avoid with properties in areas that cash flow well on paper at first but suffer from high turnover, a high level of vacant properties nearby, etc.- Check up frequently on the property and conduct walk throughs as allowed by your lease agreement.- Hire a solid property manager who gets paid to keep tabs on the property for you. 

It is very hard to tell if we are getting paid all we are due. (3) I have been told they are more setup to handle extremely low-income areas, which doesn’t exactly describe the properties we have.They have been so unbelievably incompetent on the whole, it has made my wife and I consider just selling our properties and getting out.

Purchased various sheriff auctions, short sale, and just low balling.

I'm going to look at 3 more properties tomorrow and after getting a better handle on numbers in the last few days, we should be putting in some offers very shortly!

Of course, we are biased here at BP. 

For example, if the market rent on the duplex unit you'd like to occupy is $500/mo, you can go rent another similar unit for $500 (-$500/mo on your personal bank account) and rent out the units owned by your Solo 401k (+$500/mo for your Solo 401k).As you can see, -$500 and +$500 equal the same net effect in the short term, but long term, you'll accumulate wealth more rapidly because when you go to reinvest the cashflow from the 401k-owned unit you were going to occupy (but rented out instead), the tax benefits of full reinvestment will add up faster.How do I pay the returns back to the 401(k)?

Help me figure out if this scenario I thought up has potential to work or not.First Leg:Purchase Price: $500kDown Payment: $100kClosing Costs: $20kLet's say I want to purchase a short term rental at the price point of $500k.

Of course if we can borrow at 4% and invest at 7% we are going to do that all day.
