If I could get a ACTUAL (assuming those are real operating statements) in most of OR, I'd be happy.Of course, I'd want to look thru the I&E since self-management tends to hide things.Next question - CapEx? 

You would need to enlist the help of several resources to do DD - online and local.Local: attorneys, real estate agentsOnline: Real estate websites like zillow and redfin, county tax websites, PACER for bankruptcy information, ProtitleUSA for title and lien information (O&E report)The point is you want to spend as little money as possible on DD trying to figure out your bid, and then spend some money once you honed in on that asset before you actually purchase it.

How price prohibitive is it and was the juice worth the squeeze.  

They do much of the support via e-mail and don't have a real system where you can talk to someone.  

I loved The E-Myth, although it is more about entrepreneurship than real estate investing or wealth building. 

Such plans are offered by Fidelity, E*Trade, Schwab, etc.You can have a truly self-directed Solo 401(k) capable of investing in anything the IRS rules allow for, including real estate. 

If you rent it out and presumably will report that activity on Schedule E then it won't be subject to the $10,000 limit for state taxes.

Really got the juices flowing for me for further investment properties.
