This thought led me into studying about becoming financially free and building generational wealth.

As a result I must Study the market and know what i’m worth. 

Study the market.

https://nationalmortgageprofessional.com/news/study-reveals-....Not sure BP will allow that link to post, if not just google " 10000 saved using a broker vs direct lender" and you can find the article.On the flip side, there are some banks and credit unions that could offer products that they do not allow to be brokered.

Additionally you can do a cost segregation study and get a lot of depreciation benefits to offset the rental income (and potentially other income).

However, as these terms are not used "scientifically" in the Solo 401k industry, it's advisable not to focus on those terms; rather, develop a sense of what's required to maintain a Solo 401k plan and identify exactly what is offered by a service provider.The upshot of all this is that once you've adopted a Solo 401k plan, it doesn't suddenly vanish or become non-compliant because a "plan provider" or "plan administrator" resigns.

Im new to the investing world and am still in the early stages, I've been studying and researching for the past five years.
