Ive always wanted to build big modern designs on the cheap.

I've managed in this fashion for the past 2 years with no more than 2 hours / week.Best of luck.

Direct mail / Yellow letters etc work.. but before you waste time/money handjamming letters, do some old fashioned door knocking.

I can recall when we switched over from an old fashioned quick books type approach to a software platform.

@Todd MaginNo, that was not my point.The point I was making is that when you hold property in an after-tax fashion, the rates for lending and tax on the income earned are handled in a particular fashion, and that is very different from what one will expect in an IRA where much of the income is not taxed at all, but there are not write-offs either (vast oversimplification, it is late).  

Lots of appliances and fashions from the late 80's/early 90's. 

Once they got here the young wife suddenly became very "picky"; the kitchen wasn't modern enough, she didn't like the paint color, she didn't like the neighborhood (which was actually a quiet suburban subdivision) after being here all of 15 minutes.  

I am proposing higher end finishes because I think this place will be home for my lady and I for at least 3-5 years minimum and we thoroughly enjoy modern and high end style homes.

Establishing the plan linked to a qualifying business and then investing with the plan.I have not gone back through the details of this thread, but our general viewpoint is that you should be legitimately self-employed in some fashion because that makes sense for you, not as an excuse simply to establish a Solo 401(k). 

I had a situation that fell out in a similar fashion but the tenants kept things poorly and owed damages which they did not pay.
