It depends on what you want your capital to do...generate income now or grow over the long term.

@Fred,Your LLC could sponsor a Solo 401k.This would allow you to take income you generate from flipping personally with your LLC and make new contributions to the Solo 401k, thereby reducing taxes on your personal flipping LLC.The Solo 401k could accept a rollover from your current IRA and/or the other IRA you mentioned you have.  

Agree, my long term goal is passive income and generating enough rental properties to retire, but given this specific circumstance and the huge return on flip with less than two months turnaround, the profit will allow me to put a down payment on 2 if not 3 other properties.  

If the unit is consuming all of your available disposable income, then generate some more via side jobs using skills you have or develop new ones. 

When you rehab a house the first thing you should do is make sure the power is on as many a contractor will charge huge amounts of money to use their own generator for power or the fact they may need to rent one. usually passing cost plus 15% to your bill for it.  

I am basing this decision on my experience in IT (Web design, UI/UX, Social Media & SEO) and how it can lend to generating leads, branding and marketing.

That property has an increased property value from the panels because the house aesthetics are not affected at all and the savings and income generated add value.

An interest in people, building (and buildings) and seeking ways to generate wealth have lead me to real estate.

My long term goal is to buy and hold property to generate passive income and I thought becoming an agent might be a good way to further that goal for several reasons: 1) As an agent I'll have access to data from the MLS which will help me to learn my market, and potentially areas outside the city too. 2)  I'll likely make contacts with lawyers, CPAs, mortgage brokers and other professionals through my dealings. 3) I can write my own offers. 4) I need a career change anyways.That being said I have some reservations.

I've always been interested in Real Estate investing and now feel its a viable option for me to generate income and one day do full time.
