Hello BP,

I'm looking to roll some of my IRA into a self directed or solo 401k. I read that fees can vary quite a bit. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on rock solid companies with low fees. Right now I'm interested in what fees they typically charge & why. Also, what does your money do in a SDI while it's waiting to be invested? If there are any other issues I should think about when selecting a company, please let me know. I am self employed. Thanks a bunch.

We recently found our tenant is paying about 200/mo less than market rent.  He's a great tenant.  How much/ how often should we raise the rent without making him look elsewhere?  Lease is month to month.  Thx for your input?

Do you have Legal Shield?  How do you like it?  How are they with real estate issues?

Great advice advice on the mailers.  I'm just looking to farm my local area and was wondering what to say and how professional (or not) to make it look, thanks!
