Welcome to the site Kyle.  I am new to this as well, and am looking to buy my first property in Indianapolis this spring.  Check out the podcast, I have learned a lot from them.  

This will be my first time attending a meet up.  Looking forward to it. 

Is the Meet up still happening at the Westside Pavilion on Jan 11th?

Congratulations!  What markets are you working in?

Thanks for the information @Jeff Astor.   I thought I might be able to role all of the funds over not borrow against it.  I will have to do some more research.

@Loren Whitney yes, I did mean 401k. I can't imagine that there would be a good investment foe under 15k. I guess I was wondering if there was something like a mutual fund I could get that money into. From my understanding that is what a REIT is, but I do not know if I could put those funds into a REIT without penalty.

Thanks for your help,

Ken Cooper

I have a small amount of money (15K) in an IRA from an old employer that I have not rooled over. Is there any way that I can put this into a self directed IRA, or is it to small?

Yes, Gregory, I am familiar with the coast. I have family there and visit once or twice a year. My parents have a condo in Biloxi that they rent as a vacation rental and it does well. I was looking for a REIA in the area to talk to some investors about where they think the area is headed. I am thinking about purchsing a vacation rental or a duplex there.

Nice to meet you,

Ken Cooper

Hi Gregory,

I did a bit of research trying to find a REIA ion the Gulfport/Biloxi area. It looks like there was one, but it is no longer operating. From what I recall there is one in Jackson. If you find that there is one in the area, would you let me know about it?
