Consequently, new homes in these locations start at $550,000.

my key question was around trustee for these land trusts. i can work with the specific legal company to have their trustee initially, and then have a resignation deed which designates me the successor. should i do all this or just have myself as the trustee from the start itself?

I will start expanding my network now.

i think you had posted in another thread about starting out of state, and i'm curious where you chose.are you talking to lenders already? 

I’m looking to start off my life in Real Estate investment and have been researching the idea of fix & flips for the past couple months.

A little bit about my experience in Real Estate… I started a couple years ago doing some house flips in Detroit ( It was a 2 year plan) then decided to sell everything, moved to Washington DC which can’t afford anything in the DMV area but last year I purchased a very nice 3500 SQFT Duplex in Shaker Heights, suburb of Cleveland. 

Hi, I set up a Solo 401k last year to start funding my investments in real estate.

Ideally, want to replace all of my income, but I'll start small.

If the rental is in town, maybe start looking on Craigslist, FB Marketplace and OfferUP for quality used furniture to have as backups?

I would advise starting sooner than later.
