The rule of thumb, is anytime there is a government benefit available, you should try and take advantage of them.

Specifically, looking to build wealth/income via the 3 core benefits of RE investing: 1) cashflow (feel quite strongly that things need to cashflow neutral and more than likely positive from the onset) 2) appreciating over the long-term (I understand boom and bust cycles will come) 3) Having tenants pay down debt to create equity.Syndication - this is something I have lightly looked into but based on everything I have seen the return are good (6-10%) but not as strong as they could be if I do this myself.

The benefit is that you get tax free money out of your home, and have your tenets paying the mortgage back with lower inflated dollars.  

This could possibly allow you to utilize the benefits of a VA loan.

I think I'm having the most trouble weighing the benefits of cash flow now vs. a potentially larger payout years from now.

They prevent the Solo 401k participant (as well as other disqualified persons such as some family members) from transacting with or benefitting from the investments of the Solo 401k.

So others can benefit.

Then everyone will benefit from your new website - you, your visitors and Google.

I have been informed of the numerous benefits an investor receives when getting their license, such as:- Access to the MLS- Networking- Self-Representation when making real estate purchases Also, I understand that I will have to be under a broker when making transactions (even if they are personal). 

I'm currently fighting the same "in a hurry" feeling and can appreciate your situation, and especially the benefits that came from being patient.
