Is there a way to have No money Down or Low money down? 

Often times you will pay much more in taxes than if you pulled the money out, paid the taxes and penalty and then started investing in real estate.For example, with the financing you mentioned, the IRA must pay taxes on the portion of the profit earned by financing. 

Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. 

Instead, the answer was to make a new money making market off of it.

You want an investment that pays for itself, including mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and even some money set aside for a reserve to cover vacancies and capital expenditures.

I think having a balanced budget would be ideal where you allocate money into buying another property and money set aside for renovations.

Especially as it relates to being able to rollover IRAs and old 401k money into a Solo401k.Self employment allows you to contribute large amounts to Solo401k to reduce FICA taxes.

Money?

I’m currently in the save all of money phase, I want a couple years of solid savings and some education before I get started, I’m 33 and have been working construction my whole life so this will be a much different career path for me.

This book introduced me to financial concepts and made me look at money and investing in a completely different way.
