Congrats @Dawn Anastasi!  What a great success story!  Curious - had you used Prosper prior to this property?  How was the application process as compared to a true hard money crowd funding platform? i.e., loan purpose, underwriting, etc.?

Thanks so much for your contributions and inspiration!

@Ben Pham Thanks for your reply.  I will keep you in mind for future projects.  I encourage you to formally introduce yourself in the new member forum and become more active here on BP so folks can get to know you better. 

PS - you'll need to use the @mention feature to respond directly to other members in a post.  You'll get quicker replies.

Best of success to you!

@Laneit Jones Welcome to BiggerPockets!  We're also in the Round Rock area, and I believe we've met briefly at a recent meetup hosted by Lynn Currie.  Feel free to PM me if you wish to chat sometime.

All the best to you!

@Matthew Atkinson here is a link to the meetup where you can join and receive future invites:  http://www.meetup.com/texas-real-estate-Investment-Education-Training-Networking/events/225179959/?comment_table_id=454517157&comment_table_name=event_comment

The group title: Texas Real Estate Investment Education Training Network.   Today's meeting was another great topic on private lending. 

Also, you'll need to tag folks with the @mention feature here on BP so members are alerted and can find your message to reply. Hope this helps!

Welcome to BP Austin, @Matthew Atkinson!  Nice to have you here.  You may wish to join a couple of local Meetup groups here.  @Guy Gimenez holds one in south Austin, and @Mike Walker organizes one hosted by @Lynn Currie - great people and great content to get you started! 

Best of success to you!

Post: How do I Vet Self-Directed IRA Custodians for Legitimacy?

@Scott Trench

This is a great idea.  I've been in the process of researching custodians myself, to make the decision between SDIRA or SD401(k).  In addition to vetting the custodians,  it would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison chart that shows what you can and cannot do within each type of account.  i.e., loans, leveraging real estate, self-employment income minimums and max contributions, UBIT triggers,  partnering funds, etc.

@James Kandasamy hey James!  Sounds like an interesting project. Just out of curiosity, what is a CFO approval?
