I've had 3 propertys ready to flip,  in which we only have to pay a % of the already discounted price as the seller will exit according. yet they can't creatively on board me with 3 of the very deals they & I will be doing ???????

Usually we have a few thousand dollars each year to invest after we max out these accounts (and it usually just goes into a taxable brokerage account where we use it to buy Berkshire Hathaway or Markel or some other stock that does not pay a dividend).That extra money was actually how we ended up buying this duplex - thought it might be a good way to diversify our investments.I was wondering if I could use net income from our duplex (assuming we have net income, and by net income I mean what we report to the IRS) to fund a solo 401k or some other kind of tax-advantaged plan?

I am curious as well and will be following this thread - I use Quickbooks because we also have a construction company and it works well for that BUT I have to email an invoice to each tenant every month with a link to pay online.
