I think there are some giant deals waiting within only 5 miles of my home considering my county website looks to have hundreds of code violation properties with "unsafe/unlivable" descriptions nearby.

As such, the plan must be consulted to determine its particular requirements and definitions.Termination of employmentDisabilityTermination of the planSome current employers may allow for partial or full-transfers from 401k and profit sharing plans even if one of the aforementioned triggering events have not been satisfied.One way of determining if your current employer will allow you access your retirement funds while still working for them, is to check the summary plan description (SPD) for the existing plan.

Photos seem fine to me - I don't think someone would look at the pictures and be turned off.You could add a bit more to the description as I find that can help entice people by painting a picture of the neighbourhood, how it is to live in the unit, closeby locations/hot spots.This is the worst time of the year for rentals, I'm sure in January interest will pick up.

Many assumptions in my description of course not knowing many details but essentially this is what you could do in this situation. 

However, yours is a description of how people are doing it wrong.

Alex great job dude and thank you for the very descriptive play by play.

While I do think that there are a lot of reasons to remain cautious and underwrite as if there will be an adverse cycle during the life of any asset acquired today, I think the long bull run in income property has a lot of runway left in a lot of geographical areas.Your family is smart to save some dry powder to take advantage of opportunities, but I suspect that if they are waiting for a reset of pricing and an opportunity to buy at a discount to today's pricing they'll be waiting a while.A key difference between you and your dad is you have a lot more time to make your money back if you get into the market and subsequently get wiped out. 

This dude with no profile pic on his second post will ask about buying a $179,000 triplex built in, say, 1925 in a place like Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. he'll have some description sheet ginned up by the seller with some vague language about the questionable roof and the convoluted heating system and all he'll want to know is if it's a good deal...the cash flow upside looks awesome, PLEASE HELP!!!

In general, your description of your job history doesn't disqualify you but you may need some assistance with assets depending on the price range you are looking at. 

I would ask that if you have any feedback, please be descriptive and detailed.
