@Louis Mannikko  if your 401k is a solo 401k that you control.. you may want to look at investing NOtes or with a HML.. this is a very good use for those funds.on the fix and flip you may want to consider partnering up.. just make sure whoever you partner with is vetted thourougly.. plenty of " my idea and your Money guys out there" you can go on amazon or E bay.Look for any of the guru's written material and videos you can get those for next to nothing. look through them there are usually nuggets in each one that you can use.you can also spend untold hours on BP asking questions and reading and listening to pod casts etc.. of course this is free and just depends on if you have the time for that.

You should strongly consider the possibility of holding it personally or via a partnership.

Multiple properties can eventually support your plan of cash flow being used to buy more properties.In the meantime, you can look for partners.  

I saw your PM just now- thanks for reaching out @Jarred Sleeth  Always glad to connect and add value to my network.I have actually been in the talks for a few properties now that I have put offers on with @Andrew Michael as the funding partner.  

@Michael MalloyMichael, please don't take this wrong...but you should first find someone to partner with who can assist you as you're now realizing you're too new at this to keep yourself out of hot water.  

Find out who owns the mortgage note and buy it if title shows no back taxes, second mortgages, other liens etc.When you own the mortgage you can do multiple workouts.Also you could try and find a partner locally to buy the property.

I am seeking a local mentor to learn from and hopefully partner with, while I do not have experience I do have a very high degree of motivation, desire and work ethic.

But I am trying to keep an eye on the market.Down payment is doable wish cash that I saved and partnering with my mother-in-law.

Here's a recent thread about wholesaling:-https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/351...Can you detect anything that could be described as "unethical" in the following quote:-""Subject to partners approval within 15 days of the date of this contract."

Hello!I am new to real estate investing but I would like to jump into it already.  I would love to meet up with anyone in the Greater Seattle Area to start a fix and flip!  It does not matter to me one bit if they are...
