Thinking about doing the same (for my solo 401K) and considering Rocket dollar, equity trust, broad financial, etc.

The dollar will be valued less than today. 

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing heavy in our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

Do you mainly rely on driving for dollars, online platforms, or networking with other investors? 

Other equally contributing factors you want to consider is the properties positive cashflow, asset appreciation over time, debt service paydown over time, as well as hedging your dollars against inflation - all of which make real estate such a great investment especially when you have the right property!

To me it clearly seems their distributions are just recycling investor dollars or am I wrong?

The police & animal control are very little help because of a lack of resources... always good to see my tax dollars at work!

I am very well known in this industry as the guy that gets houses for pennies on the dollar.

Or the dollar devalues, to be more precise.  

Here's a framework that you should know for tax planning:The further you can push your taxes out, the smaller they become.The time value of money shows us that a dollar is worth more today than 20 years from now.Planning is used to kick the can down the road, and make sure there will be available cash to pay the tax!
