Thanks for all of the feedback, a couple of people have asked for more details so I will provide them below, I've also put out some calls to local banks and mortgage brokers and as soon as I'm done compiling the responses I'll post so others in a similar situation can see the results.I have two properties with which to leverage but the challenge I'm finding out is that since they are both sub 100k properties the banks do not like to lend funds on properties in the sub 100k market, the mortgage broker is currently sourcing rates for banks willing to lend on properties sub 100k.

We hope it will appeal to nature lovers, those who need a writer's retreat, or possibly those who are in town for treatment at Houston's medical center.

The challenge is finding what works for you.

I don't know how big the office is that you are considering but KW has an awesome learning based program and is indeed a family.Although the "how to's" can be overwhelming and complex, to make sure you have properly addressed all issues, the real challenge and the heart of the business is all about "lead generation".  

In the Solo 401k, all returns go to the plan and your role needs to be kept at arm's length and administrative in nature.  

Reason is each category of property , at least to me, has different set of challenges, opportunities and costs so the numbers are different.
