@Collin Schwartz , that's at the same time you can go shopping at the jewelry store! 

I received a tip from an agent friend that knew it was coming to market, so I ran my numbers, prepared my cash offer with no DD and a fast closing, EM, and POFs, and submitted it the day it listed (yes, I had to pull my MIL's $$ a precious week early to do this).

The quotes I have included a bunch of silly things on them like "jewelry" protection which seems nuts.   

Used to be a jewelry store. 

They invest just like IRAs into real estate notes precious metals etc.

Real estate, notes/mortgages, precious metals and private placements are the majority of our clients picks for investments.

Have you heard of a self-directed IRA (or Roth IRA) these accounts follow all the rules of normal IRA's and Roth IRA's, but they allow you to invest in alternative assets such as real estate, notes, mortgages, private placements and even precious metals. 

@Precious Monet- great question!
