The purpose of the meeting is to learn from fellow investors; product promotions or any solicitation is strictly prohibited during the meeting.Currently max participants allowable for these meetings will be capped at 15 participants.

Generally banks do not participate in non-banking activities (like residential leasing)... but I am not a bank examiner.

Because of my success I now have people I know asking me how they can participate in my deals as silent money partners.

and a list of names will pop up on who's participating on the thread.All my properties are in Northern NJ close to Manhattan.

This is just one of the benefits of the 401k over an IRA, among others are: Checkbook control, Roth sub-account allowing tax free investing, access to funds for personal needs via participant loan and some more.

That's where the money is coming from.I do not owe on any credit cards, as we pay them off every time we use them.I appreciate the advice on 401k's, and I have a lot of friends who participate in them, but I personally feel they are not a good investment.

I am excited to participate in these forums and learn as much as I can.

I've been a long time lurker and my new year's resolution was to start posting on BP and actively participating in the discussion.By way of an introduction, while new here on BP I've been an investor since 2009, and since then I've had the change my real estate strategies three times including: short sale buy/sell to short sale rehab to buying directly from sellers and rehabbing and finally wholesaling from sellers.

First the investor(owner) of your loan must participate in HAFA, not just the servicer (B of A, Wells, Citi, etc.).

I think you'll find a few BP participants in Olympia, WA and surrounding areas.
