If you want to build a small business on top of this long-term plan, by all means, buy some real estate.Disclaimer: I personally hold most of my long-term retirement / 401k type investments in a similar fund and invest heavily outside of this fund in real estate to build a lifestyle business independent of long-term savings earmarked for retirement.

I started listening to podcasts in that space about 1 to 1.5 years ago because I have always been interested in financial independence (not necessarily retire-early). 

I'm 21, a student, I have a consistent work history since I was 18, but not earning much, only ~15k a year, I now have a job earning about 25k/year but it is independent contracting and I deduct quite a bit of that income on my taxes.

I have a business opportunity that I want to invest.The dilemma I have is whether to directly invest from LLC in which case any profits income coming in have to go into the solo 401k retirement account and I won't be able to use the money for anything else.Unless any money needed will have to be taken out as loans in the future to be used.orThe other choice is to trigger a participant loan from the solo401k, in the beginning, to make the investment so that its invested through another business we own that we can be part of the profit distribution and keep it independent of the retirement plan oversight but it will require to start immediate payments back to solo 401k loan.Any thoughts or advise.Also, loan payments back to solo401k what options are available from a time-frequency standpoint.

Would appreciate any recommendations for independent property inspector and PM.Cheers,Stanley

Financial independence is about family, friends and freedom, after all. 

Not knowing who you’ve tried to reach out to my first inclination is to reach out to multiple independent agents the reason being they’ll have the ability to reach out to multiple insurance companies to try to get quotes.

Hello fellow BP members,so far I've been getting paid as an independent contractor, I am wondering whether I should be doing business through an LLC, S-corp or something else? 

In the state of Tx, in order to have a independant property managment company it will need to have a licensed broker involved, you can still be partner but the brokers license is at stake here so they may want 51% or greater ownership.

Translation, couldn’t find peer reviewed statistically significant evidence.
