Depending on how tight the market is in your area you can, at times, get them to pay you more than what they believe the "market value" is but at times (when their money is tight) they will reduce what they will pay (and, once again, tough noogies to the landlord).We were able to increase the rent on our one Section 8 rental (when we participated in this program) by (gasp!)

Here is how the ROBS 401k structure works at a high level.A new C-corporation is established.Corporation sponsors a new 401k/PSP.The IRA/ former employer 401k funds are transferred to a new brokerage account opened for the 401k/PSP.The new Corporation issues stock shares to the 401k/PSP for the benefit of the 401k owner.The 401k participant must be an employee of the Corporation business and he or she may take a reasonable salary.To the extent that the corporation generates profits and elects to distribute those profits to the owners of the business, the percentage of the profits associated with the shares held in the 401k/PSP will flow back to the 401k/PSP brokerage account.

I work on call so I have most of my weeks free and can write, build websites, and a variety of other skills at hand.I'm most interested in commercial real estate and multifamily properties right now, but any area would be great to participate in.Hopefully this isn't the absolutely worst area to post this.

Hearing about (and participating in!) 

I am looking forward to learning and participating in this forum!
