But to sum it all up my new jersey properties where slightly out preformed by my out of state properties and it took longer for me to really be able to enjoy true cashflow from my NJ properties. 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy my kids, travel, exercise, wellness and I am also a former Financial Planner turned Mortgage Lender. 

I have searched for this on the forums extensively and online, to the point where I've started building my own and writing the code myself.

Very good book, thank you both for writing it!

That wasn't true (and I had our exchange in writing) so thankfully that sorted itself out.

Again, thanks for taking the time to write down your experience and thoughts, I appreciate it!

I also enjoy their YouTube content—super informative about how to use self-directed IRAs for real estate investing.

Enjoy the community and don't ever rush the journey.

My main focus is to make sure my Mom has enough cash to live off of while she enjoys her retirement.

Verifying the use of the money and confirming in writing that it’s for a business purpose are integral parts of any private loan.
