I am also toying with the idea of small industrial deals (with the help of someone who is in this space), but I personally do not have any experience in it. 

@Angela Toy,You need a truly self-directed Solo 401k, and Schwab does not offer this option.

I am toying with the idea of becoming an OOS liaison, but am not even close to that yet, still crunching the numbers and trying to get a view of what that might look like.

If his business happens to run into trouble and he has an expensive lifestyle, he might be at a higher risk of not repaying the loan.Secondly, if you think it's ok because you have the cash to buy your toys, you might want to think again. 

Hey guys.Being moderately experienced investor, I have done HUD's, local auctions, selelr financing, rentals, flips, etc...I have toying around with the idea of using a virtual assistant to submit my HUD offers (in and amongst other things).I am curious:1)  Has anyone been using virtual assistants to submit HUD and has it worked well? 

Depending on the value of the property you will need to show up with $x,000 in certified funds to register to bid and if you are the high bidder you will need to increase your deposit to y% (typically 10%) of the high bid within a couple of business days. 30 days settlement is standard, so financing is possible.The difference in risk level between private auctions and foreclosures is huge.
