I try to evaluate a specific number of deals instead.

If you happen to qualify for the Solo 401(k) plan type by being self-employed and having no full time employees, then the tax on UDFI is exempted. 

Does it seem that the employees enjoy being there?

I am fully intending on outsourcing as much as possible, and am even considering turn-key solutions to get my feet wet (although I really do not know if they are a good deal or exactly how they work).Right now, I am focusing on (and please tell me if I am missing something)1) How to locate a "good deal"2) How to evaluate if the deal is actually good or not3) Find like minded people in my city that I can learn from or bounce ideas off of (mentor?)

Hi BP, Can someone talk to me about the amount of value you place in Tax Depreciation when evaluating deals.

You have until extension deadline to fund the employer portion of the SOLO 401k, but employee elective deferral for a self-employed individual must be generally deposited within reasonable or but no later than 15 business days (i.e., excluding weekends and federal holidays) following the month. 

What is the best way to evaluate who they should be working with?

Please note that you are obligated to pay back their 401k (regardless of the performance of your real estate investment).Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).If you are self-employed with no full-time employees & you can rollover the funds, you could set up a Solo 401k, rollover the funds and take a 401k loan from the Solo 401k.2) Regarding taking a distribution from a 401k plan and then paying back within 60 days: the issue here is that there is a 20% withholding requirement so if you distribute $10,000 you will receive $8,000 (since 20% is withheld) but you will need to deposit $10,000 within 60 days so you are effectively providing Uncle Sam with an interest-free loan equal to $2000 since you won't be able to recoup those funds until you file your taxes.

Several variations, but allows breakdowns for multiple employees, and various other things.
