Yes, I do have in mind to have a washing machine without a dryer.

There are several courses online, but before paying a dime it would be helpful to watch the several videos on YOUTUBE on giving prompts.

And assets that provide you with great depreciation but not great income or stability are just a form of robbing from Peter to pay Paul.   

The way I'm looking at it, if my spouse and I only do employer matching for the 10 years we would have more than enough in there and still 10 years out from being able to access it.I do plan on doing 401k loans for deals if the numbers check out, and I've considered rolling over some of our 401ks into roth IRAs to access our contributions but we'd have to pay taxes out of pocket (a big hit to cash flow) and we couldn't touch it for 5 years.  

I am always looking to talk to like minded people. 

And keep in mind private sellers and wholesalers dont help either when they wont entertain offers below ask either.

In that case you need to pay the difference.

Ideally they did not pay over retail because if they did they could easily lose the money they put into the property if the loan gets called.  

Hi Niece, I'd suggest you get involved with other like minded folks at your local real estate group.

I love the story of your artist friend, honestly it never came to mind to incorporate the two together for a marketing hook!
