If the market goes down, it's a good thing because we have been saving cashflow from our portfolio and now we can buy properties at a discount with those funds.Dollar Cost Averaging is a principal that applies to the subject of Real Estate just as much as it applies to the stock market IMO.

@Randy SmithYes but the financing must be non-recourse (as well as subject to the Solo 401k real estate rules that apply generally).

However, under the final tangibles regulations and for these purposes only, the improvement analysis applies to the building structure and each of the key building systems.

If prospective renters are aware of your rental criteria prior to submitting an application, they are likely to eliminate themselves if they don't have what it takes to be successful and will not apply in the first place.

My comments were general in nature to the typical lack of understanding of the 2-4 unit & commercial space in DC, by residential realtors. 

To me, this is a simple and bulletproof plan barring a natural disaster.  

The repayment terms for a 401k participant loan are equal monthly/quarterly payments of principal and interest (typically prime plus 1%) over a 5 year term (longer if used to acquire your principal residence).Please note that if you take a full $50,000 and then pay back the loan, you can't take another $50,000 until 12 months after the first loan was fully paid back.Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).Solo 401k vs.

Naturally if you can get in with private money and show you can make it perform they'll be more apt to give you a better deal but asking what they'll do is like asking what the weather will be like tomorrow in East TN. 

This is purely to meet code, so small landing platforms, cheap materials...just utilitarian in nature.
