But I am ready and looking for guidance and structure,Billy Hills

That said, I need some guidance on next steps.Step 1) Have had sole propriatorship for a couple of years (unprofitable)Step 2) Applied for and received my Tax EINStep 3) Gave self-employment info to foxnfox.com's Bruce Fox (great guy, most affordable) who processed the paperwork, and sent me a binder of legalise; this is for a solo 401k only, they do not act as custodians, or adminStep 4) Acting as custodian, I will need to set up a bank account somewhere (any recommendations on which bank is best?)

I know I already love building wand using my time to make something anew and problem solving, but also, I use my free time to scour the MLS.So, what do you think is more valuable?

@Jon Holdman , Elizabeth Colegrove , thank you both for the valuable information.
