I have a beautiful wife andtwo boys at home (the boys own the responsibility for my continuedhair loss), and believe I finally have the right pieces in place tostabilize life for my family (retirement planning, expense control,etc), so I can now begin part 2 of my journey by jumping into REinvesting.While I am new to REInvesting (aside from the books I read by Brandon, David, Scott &some of the other Bigger Pockets team), I have been around investingfor the last 20 years (mainly investing in stocks, but also somefancy derivative trading when I am feeling bold).

You might find that if you don't get good enough deals to begin with, the amount Fannie Mae will lend under their DF scheme won't 100% cover the amount you originally borrowed against your prior property to buy the subject property (even though their Rules let them), unless you're buying cheaper properties each time.Another thing: Your Debt-To-Income Ratio is likely to take a big hit each time, because Banks notoriously make you wait years before they'll take full account of the income derived from property purchases (and even then, only a percentage is credited). 

Anything 5+ units the value is derived off of the NOI (net operating income) that the property produces.  

I may just focus on options derivative trading while in college so I can master that skill while learning about the real estate game.

Can you derive an adjustment for the difference in towns?

France derives 70-75% of its electricity from nuclear.Bill Gates has said we may have to look at nuclear to meet electricity needs.

The Solo 401(k) also has the advantage of being more favorable for real estate investments using debt-financing such as a mortgage - as the 401(k) is exempted from a small tax called UDFI that an IRA would pay on the percentage of income derived from the borrowed money.The UBIT tax mentioned by the prior poster does not apply to interest income which is passive in nature.  

In some cases, the income derived from the investments will not be counted towards your DTI until the income is shown on a tax return.  

Cody if you live in CA you still pay Ca income tax on any income derived from any other state?

I was doing my simulated deal trying to derive the price that I should offer on this duplex.In trying to calculate the NOI the expenses were greater than the Income resulting in a negative NOI.
