Buying property and fixing it up will teach you a ton about real estate and you'll be able to see the real side of it, not just the talk.

I am looking  to buy Some real estate that needs a little bit of fixing up do you have anything available 

You can slowly fix it up and sell after living there for 2 years.

Apparently never complained much about minor things (I assume, because you say he told you after the fact that he fixed some small things.) 

Make sure you can live in the neighborhood, not just the home.Oh, and I fixed your weird spacing...

I've just always loved taking things apart and fixing them.

Buy and hold is generally safer in the Solo 401(k), or possibly fixing up a property, renting it for a time, and then selling it so it's not "flipping," per se.And of course you always have to watch out for the prohibited transactions and make sure you keep good records for your accounts and work with a banker who knows what they're doing.

I do have access to 60k plus some more private money if needed for a deal.My internal debate is that im feeling quite spread thin between holding a contsrtuction job, learning how to be an agent (and get that business going), as well as attempting to purchase a fix and flip(s) in order to buy and hold. 

I am a new investor, well I want to be an investor and I would like to do fix and flips.

I've been hearing as low as 5.00% for floating and up in the 7% range for fixed lately.
