Quote from @Jon K.: Quote from @Brandon Elliott: Though my years of hiring trades to work on my rental and friends/ family/ clients properties I have had it good and bad experiences.

I saved $78 K on one rental property and $278 K on the other- doing three others once I make some renovations.

Quote from @Carrie K.: I haven't used Craigslist since 2010.

The K-1s I received all show a Net rental real estate income loss on Part III line 2 as expected. 

How do I pay the returns back to the 401(k)?  

@Malik K.

Typically, any income generated from the property should flow back into the retirement account and be reinvested.2.Generally, your property management company can manage the apartment complex owned by your self-directed 401(k).

Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".
