Does a Solo 401k Have the Same UBTI Rules as a Self Directed IRA LLC?Quote from @Alicia Prokos:
Hi,
I have set up a Solo 401k and am in the process of funding it with enough money to make my first investment. I might disagree about the simplicity. While you may not need a CPA, I think it would be a wise move to go to one of the financial custodial companies specializing in Solo 401ks to help you set it up, or at least educate yourself about these types of accounts before you open one. In my mind, there are a lot of rules that could easily trip you up and disqualify your plan/ account. I am a customer of Quest IRA, but there are other ones such as The Nabers Group, Sense Financial, and My Solo 401k that I am familiar with (but unaffiliated).

Consult a CPA who knows what he is doing and file this: Notice of Inconsistent Treatment I have done this several times for investors who got screwed by the GP. It works. Send a paper copy of the return, not efile. And mail the return on last day of extended due date. Attach this form as the LAST page of the paper return.

Take out the loan proceeds and repayments. They distort the calculation. Only the interest payments should be recorded.

So you sold your crypto at the top in 2021? You should write a book and get a gig on financial shows. I doubt many others did so well. So, now you have no stress, and are looking to enter a very stressful line of business. I don't know how old you are, but if it were me, I would get into the medical care field as some kind of licensed professional. Otherwise, you run the risk of making bad investments and losing too much. Or place your money with a good wealth manager, such as Morgan Stanley, and get some income now. We should have have such choices. Oh, one more thing, move to a State with zero income tax: Florida, New Hampshire etc.

Quote from @Matthew Brown:
Hello everyone, I've only recently begun looking into becoming a real estate investor and I'm trying to gain as much knowledge as I can.
I'm located in Middletown, CT and plan on buying a rental property in the next year or so (I'm thinking local now, but that could change).
My rough plan at the moment is to save money for 6 months to a year and to buy a property (I haven't decided on single or multi family yet) with a conventional loan using the money I saved, along with money from a 401k loan (the rates for my 401k loan are pretty good). I currently own a house with my wife with a child on the way, so househacking isn't an option.
Does my plan so far seem adequate? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to start going to REI meet-ups, but I work 2nd shift and it seems most meetings happen during the week.
Thanks for reading this far, I can't wait to get started!
