Confirm that the provider has experience with the particular investments in which you intend to invest your retirement funds as you very likely will have questions in terms of the mechanics (e.g. how do you invest in real estate, etc.).4.

@Barre Gambling I am curious... in your opinion, is our area in central NC underserved outside of the Raleigh-Cary-Durham MSAs?

I'm happy to share my experience as both a flipper and a lender.

He's the guy who shared my interested and connected us, he wouldn't recommend him as a seller if he had bad experiences with his other properties.I did ask about other properties and he shared about a duplex for $200k, but I wouldn't be able to afford the down payment needed.He acknowledged the rent is low compared to the market and never mentioned that it's his "best" property.1) Agree, but if he's been a good tenant is that necessarily a problem?

Hey all,Does anyone have any personal experience with First Savings Bank and their 1st lien HELOC?

Those chasing the last 5yrs experience are going to be rather sad at what the next 5yrs hold for them I think.

I think 1) 10 years that includes recovery from GFC and the Covid pandemic is not a long enough duration2) I think for those 10 years, 100% is not that special3) I think many Midwest markets did not experience the appreciation you depict.There are Midwest markets that have pretty good long term appreciation but there are also many Midwest markets that have appreciation that has not historically kept up with inflation.
