@Dan Linger find a market with double digit net caps, find a team and let them handle. 

You put up the down payment and take care of the mortgage (with help from roommates), they would just share ultimate responsibility in the event of default (so not a commitment to be entered into lightly..).

I know there is a REIA group in Springfield MO and one in Arkansas somewhere.Check the BP calendar of events, check meetup.com and set up some keword alerts here on BP for your investing market.

My best advice would be to go to as many meetups or networking events as possible while you're in the generating money phase. 

For C-D class multifamily, you can still find double digit cap rates. 

There was an event btw your offer and this closing which could be argued as relevant.Going back to the seller broker, that potentially could be taken to the authorities.

I’ve found them to be great for making connections and building relationships.There’s a Multifamily Masters group in Indianapolis you may want to check out.https://www.meetup.com/Indianapolis-Apartment-Investing-Meetup/events/mrmlmrybccbbc/

This does not create a taxable event. 

You may wish to confirm that the new 401k provider will handle the ongoing compliance support such as any required 5500 filing (e.g. 5500-ez for a one-participant plan with assets in excess of $250,000), any required tax reporting (e.g. 1099-r in the event of a distribution or in-plan Roth conversion), mandatory plan updates and amendments, etc.4.

There are a lot of good meet ups and real estate investor events that you might attend, depending on your schedule.
