@Ben N.The Solo 401k cannot participate in the transaction that also involves the account holder.  

MetaBank and other non banks don't participate in the ACH system.

I don't say network because "networking" has lost its flavor with many because most people ask for something for nothing when participating, which is a turn off.

Afterward, you can further enhance your knowledge by using Investopedia or other resources on the Web.Here is a snap shot on the Personal Income:It's most likely 95% of most people here will not pay attention to this kind of information.That's fine when everything is going up.But when it's turning around, this is exactly why I study all of the indicators.

All my net worth is pretty much invested in the stock market (large index funds + some bonds + some public REITs).My job is very demanding and I tend to move around every couple years, so I never embarked into the challenges of directly owning a rental property.At the same time, I am increasingly worried about the high valuation of the stock market, so I would like to diversify some portion of my net worth (say 25%) into some income producing/appreciating alternative investment that is uncorrelated to the stock market.I don't trust the new and popular crowdfunding real estate websites because I see them just as a marketplace with the goal of pushing to the investor as many deals as possible regardless of the quality, so the interests of the company are really not aligned with mine.But I like the idea of passively participating in a syndicated deal as an investor, so, my question for you is, what would you do in my shoes?

The following link to the IRS website should be helpful: https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employee/retirement-topics-prohibited-transactionsHaving the multiple lenders that are disqualified persons to each other (but not to you) should be all right.

@Jamie HaasMost employers will require a sworn statement from the participant certifying that the loan is to be used to purchase the participant’s principal place of residence (for plan loan purposes, “principal residence” has the same meaning as the term under IRC Sec. 121)

I met with a few builders and some in my area do participate in this, but I have not inked one of these deals.  

Thanks in advanced for all your answers and participation!
