You contribute some seed money to the Roth portion, say $130.

Take your time and soak in as much as you can.

I'm in a similar situation, as I just began my foray into REI after spending a 3 month honeymoon reading, writing, and soaking up every introductory nugget of knowledge on the subject.

I wish to wholesale flip a minimum of 3 properties over the next 120 days to gain seed money to buy a duplex that I can hack. 

Looking to soak up all the information I can so if you are in the area, let’s connect.

The problem is, as a California investor, you are going to get soaked by a local foundation company.

I put all new flooring in the upper level of their unit, its a bi-level duplex, and the bedrooms are in the basement, which has carpeting, as did my side, but I tore my carpet out due to years of dog urine never cleaned out of it, which soaked into the cement and even after enzyme cleaning and layers of scent sealing paint and then vinyl plank flooring, I can still smell it in the damp weather.

I planted that seed a couple months ago but it took me putting a few more buyers in there before they took me up on it.

I have a college education in Computer Science which allowed me to generate some seed capital by working for a software company.
