Jeff,I created a self-directed 401k and then "directed" the funds to be invested in buying the stock of a C-Corp I set up.

All new except for the refrigerator that they brought out from the back...never used just dented from stock.

Plant replacement is minimal by comparison - under $100 total and only taking care of stuff that was dead or way overgrown.

Sure, stocks and bonds could generate higher returns cash on cash, but not in a mutual fund and not by an amateur just picking something off of e-trade.

I have a 401k invested in stock funds, and would like to avoid the ups and downs of the market.

Not to mention the black mold and dead animals

Put another way, is this investment a replacement for long-term bonds, or a replacement for another investment (value-add real estate, stocks, etc.)?

Use the cash stock as the revolving rehab fund.

Hello @Wayne Brooks, thank you very much for your comment.You bring an excellent point, which has made me doubt investing in Tax Liens in FL, unless it is seen just as an alternative to CDs, Stocks, etc.

The stock market is up at least 8 straight sessions that I can think of off the top of my head.
