I would highly suggest bring a profesional with you, when you visit the property to inspect the fan.

Since I will be leaving my corporate job and effectively self-employed as I manage most of my MF portfolio, can I roll my retirement savings into a Solo 401k and invest in RE with the money?

With these high interest rates, now is not a good time. 

For this reason, I highly recommend the 2 BR option over the 1 BR.  

There have been other sponsors that have sounded interesting to me, but I usually listen while I'm driving or running and can't easily stop and write down the name of the sponsor, seems like it would be more effective advertising to list them in the show notes, or to have one page where BP lists all the podcast sponsors so you can go back to get more information.

That way on a 75-80% cashout you can recoup your cost, and possibly add additional cash to your operating account, to scale your progress toward building a portfolio.It's not going to happen overnight but with consistent investments, each additional property should add equity, cash, and monthly cash flow to your portfolio, causing a compounding effect to allow you to scale.Let me know if you have any further questions, but this seems like a great place for you to start.

Based on your numbers, there would be little to no cash-flow (if held as a long-term rental), especially if you factor in the high interest rates. 

I'm perfectly willing to pay for my MLS access, but I don't want to pay the high membership fees for KCRAR.Can anybody shed some light on this process?
