Assuming you could take out a couple 100k you would have the buying power to start a cash recycling business (brrring or flipping).

I am also a huge fan of real estate and for the past 50 years there's been a way to combine both.By leveraging a Self-Directed IRA, real estate investors enjoy both the traditional advantages of property ownership and the additional tax benefits of retirement accounts, creating a powerful wealth-building strategy.

But by and large most homeowners in dc are wealthy and there payment and this is key is less than rent if they bought before 2022, so they will do everything in thier power to keep thier mortgage.

His God complex and giant ego won't allow him to reflect on the damage he's done  keep in mind if the SEC detects a serious issue and one that could harm investors right now they have the power to take emergency action and shut them down.

California where expenses are really high, versus like Ohio (etc), where expenses are really low.Using leverage is always going to make your buying power go further.  

and where you could start with a house hack... which is the best and most powerful way to get started.now, should you buy a random, 'cheap' (supposedly) property in some random market you may never live in or have any connection to, before you're settled, just to own an investment property?

I have spent the last few years reading many books on real estate, taking real estate courses, researching, saving as much as I could, investing (to increase my purchase power) and finally feel I can begin my real estate journey this year. 

You lose all power when giving your money to some hopeful person called a syndicator who often puts little to no money in the actual deal and whose only claim to fame is that he may have an over hyped deal.

Active investors absolutely have ability for higher returns, but at some point it does impact your primary job earning power.
