I’m in a jam I’m hoping someone in the Augusta area can help I’m looking for someone that can come out and clean up the water in basement from the storm last night ?

Hi @Christina Manning, if you find a duplex or bigger multifamily in the Augusta, GA area, please send it my way.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Augusta.

The tax assessment was $228K in 2011 and it's located near Augusta, Ga.

yes.however, there was a show recently detailing the precious commodities/food/natural resources in the U.S.A.The value of these alone came to well above the trillion mark (whatever number you call that after a trillion).the US is fine; we just don't like to advertise it. :)Another thing people fail to mention (in us competing w/ China & India now) is our ability to entreprenuer.There's quite a few awesome entreprenuers on this website alone...

Following are the similarities and differences between the solo 401k and the self-directed IRA.The Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k SimilaritiesBoth were created by congress for individuals to save for retirement;Both may be invested in alternative investments such as real estate, precious metals tax liens, promissory notes, private company shares, and stocks and mutual funds, to name a few;Both allow for Roth contributions;Both are subject to prohibited transaction rules;Both are subject to federal taxes at time of distribution;Both allow for checkbook control for placing alternative investments;Both may be invested in annuities;Both are protected from creditors;Both allow for nondeductible contributions;Both are prohibited from investing in assets listed under I.R.C. 408(m); andNeither may be invested in your own business. 

The fact that international money printing machines are all running in turbo mode has engendered an enormous concern amongst fund managers, especially the fixed income type ( in August, a Wells Fargo bond fund manager said to me that he was so afraid of QEs.)Hedge funds have their own pricing models(far more sophisticated than traditional appraisals).

I was by then totally freaked out and didn't buy anything that I wasn't sure about (which was precious little).The challenge with options, especially for newbies trying to wholesale, is that you have to be working with sellers that aren't in a hurry to sell and understand why you are optioning.

Great discussion, thanks for starting it :) As for myself, I'd definitely do it all over again - it's tempting to say I wouldn't make the same mistakes, but I've learned a great deal from those as well, so I'll resist that temptation,As for the rest of your questions, I definitely agree with the above - delegation is key, and picking the right team will enable you to leverage your most precious resource (which is actually your time, not your money) in the most efficient manner.

If I had to spend all my precious spare time dealing with (and losing sleep over) the most miserable aspects of property ownership, it would be a significant obstacle to growing my business.
