@Jennifer Bondhus once you use an FHA loan you are not able to get anther FHA loan unless you can prove extenuating circumstances (took a job miles away, growing family, etc.) or sell/refinance out of FHA loan.

My goal is to grow to new heights in this business focusing on single family and multi family flips.

Your equity grows with time as you pay down the mortgage.  

My purpose is two-fold: 1) to help me keep organized and have a reference manual that I can look back on, add to and tweak as needed 2) provide instructions for every task that I could possibly outsource/hire out down the road so that I can scale and grow my business.Any stories, tips or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  

For example if your self employment business only made say 1K due to you reinvesting to grow etc... but you contributed 5K to your regular IRA that could then be rolled into the Solo401K. 

I personally would rather be an investor/landlord willing to help than not to, as I have found the ethical approach to what my parents always told me growing up to "always treat others as you'd like to be treated" to be very fruitful in this game of life (and real estate) we all play. 

I just read a report that showed Sacramento as the third fastest growing market for rental prices, I had no idea it was so strong!

Hello Everton, I'm glad to see you join BP where you can learn and grow in real estate.  

I have been able to put away some money this year and hope to find a good investment to help my money grow and have steady future income for my family.

I have some flips going and my business has recently started to grow bigger than my contractor can keep up with.
