That being said, I think your thread was launch in one direction without giving a fair comparison of the IRA vs. 401k structure.

I am also looking to connect with investors, i am about to be a real estate agent soon, launching my own site for lead geneartion, and getting into the flipping business.

@Russell Bogan I just recently bought my first 2 homes in Union City and closing on one in riverdale.Something to consider before you buy your investment home in Clayton County is the launch of MARTA other there and when and where the bus lines will run. 

Maybe you should think about launching your own business or changing a career..

I am planing to launch my first marketing for “sellers” campaign sometime next week.

I am about to launch my first marketing campaign this week and am eager and ready to make some phone calls and see what happens.

I also got a much better feel of the local market occupancy and rents.I'm planning to launch another mailer within 30 days because of how much this last one brought me. 

They will launch a site dedicated towards marketing to home owners and listing their homes.

As a result, I've been looking at Baltimore to launch my real estate investment career.I'm focusing on multi-family houses until the day I can start trading up for apartment buildings.

Or as what has happened to launch this whole financing machine called CF was the simple fact that credit got super tight and these guys are the new players on the block and did not have to adhere to what we as lenders in the past adhered too.As credit un thaws  those with the creds like you describe will go to banks ..
