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’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.

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? 

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. 

They'll start looking in secondary/tertiary markets to get in the game.

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.

I would advise starting sooner than later.

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