Setup a keyword alert for "turnkey" It's probably one of the most widely discussed topics here on bigger pockets.

In addition to making the most of your local meetups (which i see you're already doing) make sure to set up some strategic keyword alerts so you can keep tabs on the forums effectively.

It’s straight forward.

I have been looking into several strategies to pay it off and one of my first cousins (who is an international student in the US) has saved up $15k and would like to partner with me/ lend me the money to buy the rental.My strategy was to use his money to pay off my 401k loan balance and then do the roll over into a self-directed IRA to buy the rental under my name so that he has the option to live in it (if it's a multi family) and rent the rest.I have done a great deal of research and it looks like as long as I don't live in the rental and also make sure that all the transactions are done within the IRA, then it should be straightforward.

I found a cute 2 bed 1 bath rambler for $92k and I’m the same area I found a company that specializes in real estate investing using all of the important keywords to make sure their ad appears.

Any keywords you look for?
