Hi, I’m new to rental property investing and I have read many books, blogs, and listened to countless podcast.

Here is a list of lenders offering such financing for retirement accounts: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/2810/50272-lis...If you use leverage to purchase a property in your IRA there will be UBIT impact, but it would not be huge as to discourage you from going this route.

@Kim Heinrich I like markets that have good renter affordability along with population and job growth: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10145/68178-to...

Hi Account Closed, we have been looking for a professional marketing company to handle our social medial, blog, and PPC. 

You are in the right place and this community has literally taught me everything real estate over the last 3 years with all the podcast, forums, blogs, calculators, etc.

So, I'm very interested in prospect of using a portion of my net worth to invest in real estate now before this opportunity is lost (i.e. from not being able to get a mortgage, or at least as good of one, post-quitting)*.So, I'm looking to try to acquire my first rental property during the week of 7/3-7/10 - which is when I'll be in the area I'm looking to invest in, and be living long-term starting in August (aside from traveling 90% of the year).I've watched a handful of YT videos and read some blogs on real estate investing in the last day, but I'm looking for any quick advice that might make a big difference.

I’ve been listening to biggerpockets podcast, reading book, blogs and I would really like to get started... don’t really have a lot of money. 

Doing a few wholesaling deals, will give you the funds to clear up your debts, save some money as reserve, and then leverage to borrow more money in the future if you want to fix and flip or buy and hold.Research "wholesaling real estate" in BP, YouTube, Blogs, etc.I love wholesaling.
