Hey George, Thanks for the sound advice. Can you please tell me how I can begin the process of pulling my money out tax free? Thanks.

Can anyone direct me or tell me if I can take money out of my Roth IRA and invest it into buying a house?

I’m going to my first REIA tomorrow can anyone give me some good advice as to how I can present myself and my real estate business? I’m hoping to find Private Money Lenders at the meeting. Some good pointers would be helpful. Thanks.

Can anyone share with me their elevator pitch for a private money lender. I’m trying to get ideas of what to say in order to secure funding with a private money lender.

@ Ray Lai. Thanks for the information sounds like you understand my area. What type of DM do you think would be best to find off market homes?

Joe Jackson I’m definitely all game in joint venturing with another investor like yourself. I couldn’t find any contact information to get ahold of you but maybe we can reach out on here.

Ok thanks for that feedback. My next question is since the area is small and I’m going to be using either PML or HML how do I factor in the waiting period after the house is fixed? As far as someone said my area is a great place for rentals I totally agree! I have gotten several leads for awesome rental properties, but have not been able to do anything as I can’t find an investor who will invest in a low dollar amount on a house. I have had 4 offers for around 9000 for each house to buy, but just didn’t have the capital of my own nor a PML or HML to do the deal so I passed. But I’m trying to get a higher ARV house to fix and flip so that I can buy those lower end houses with my own capital and then rent them out. My main concern about buying a higher ARV for a great deal is that I may have to wait a while for it to sell and I’m not sure how that will irk with a HML or PML. Thanks everyone for their generous feedback. I appreciate you.

I would like to get some quality feedback as to whether or not i'm in the right market for real estate investing. I live in a city called Clinton SC which is comprised of about 10,000 residents or less. The city next to me which is about 15 minutes away from her is called Lauren's SC; it too has the same demographics. I want to see if other investors are able to make it work for them. The next biggest city is Greenville SC which its about 45-60 minutes away. I currently hold an 8-5 regular technician job in Clinton, but have the flexibility to work my 8-5 as well as REI. Im trying to figure out if I can even make it a go here.

It seems there are many options for Direct Mail Marketing. One is you buy the list from a list source and you can either have them mail it if they have that type of service, or there’s the option of finding a direct mail fulfillment center and having them send out your list. Or there’s the other option of making your own mailers and then mail merging the list yourself. And then there’s REI software like realeflow and other sites similar that can basically do all of the above on their site. So my question to you is what works best for you in sending out mass mail ie...postcards,yellow letters? Let me know a good system that works for you. Because I would like to hear what works the best.

What is the best public website out there that is comparable to MLS access that one can use to look for properties if they don’t have MLS access? I want to also know what to to look for on a website in order to know if it’s a deal or not.
