For my flips, Foremost is the go-to carrier and offer a true Flip Insurance policy to protect you fully.

Unless you have a business with employees that would require an ERISA 401(k) the Solo 401(k) version is much simpler, easier & less expensive to administer, and sufficiently robust in terms of segregating retirement and personal finances.While not entirely true in all cases, I would equate eQRP with "shiny object" marketing. 

Do not buy a deal to buy a deal (impatience and wanting to jump in the game), do not rely on other people's numbers (agents/brokers influencing you to buy), and ALWAYS stay true to your analysis.

@Jacob Sampson very true.

Those of us trying to create a true profession have to live with the results.

@eric yes true.

This is especially true as you identify your target niche for investing (flip, wholesale, buy and hold, short term rental, etc). 

My instinct tells me its not true, he may using that as an excuse to kick them out.

True, but for CA this is fairly decent cash flow, if you want max cash flow you may look out of state instead.
