I"m looking forward to driving after a snowfall to see who doens't have vehicles going in and out, but its been a lite year for snow.

So there's two options depending on your vehicle situation.

In today's high volatility environment, most investors I talk to are seeking ways to insulate themselves from volatility using alternative investment vehicles and RE funds are a good venue for that.Cons:Typical REIT strategy is investing in class-A assets in core markets, where assets trade in the 4-5% cap rate range.

As I anticipated, no one has actually answered my question, so I thought I would be a bit more specific.From what I can glean, B-Corps were created specifically to provide a vehicle for private foundations to allocate their funds to assets that generated revenue, but whose primary purpose was not profit.

Investing in a trust deed to earn 10% interest making sure the loan to value is under 70% is a very safe place to be and a profitable one that is passive and does not require any management duties.I am not saying that nobody should invest in buy and hold if they only get an 8% return, but I am saying that one should excessive your options of vehicles for the best returns while mitigating risk.

The property is worth what he wants and what I am willing to pay. ( actually prime location with 20 thousand+ vehicles pass daily) This is where I need help.

I am sure that one in a very similar situation could have found some other creative means to obtain the apartment building, still keep the 401k and have best of both worlds.Roth or traditional, a 401k or IRA is Not money in a hole in the backyard, it is a great tool that can be used to grow it using RE as the vehicle.

The market is turning to a sellers market and the time will come soon that there may no longer be any great deals in the market - at that point I would still rather invest in securities instruments (mutual funds, REITs, index funds) or another investment vehicle.

A lot of investors I come across don't consider the benefits or are simply unaware of some of the best financial planning strategies out there especially when it comes to estate planning and tax implications, working an insurance policy as a creative investment vehicle, leveraging debt, and using things like Charitable Remainder Trusts.

Those flipping mobile home via Lonnie Deals, Lease Options, Rent to Owns, Retail Installment Contracts, Personal Property Trusts, or whatever other vehicle is used to convey the property, while TRYING to stay compliant, should all take note of Ken Rishel 's comments on this subject.
