There is also the added bonus of networking with future colleagues in the class, finding accountability partners, etc.I got licensed online with real estate express.

We do have our retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, HSA accounts, etc… and will continue to invest money into those respective accounts for retirement purposes.With above stated, I would appreciate if  anyone can give me an honest opinion on how to start my journey as in what would be the best operation plan/strategy given my current situation and assumed future plans before partaking.Thanks in advance for anyone replying and assisting in the matter.

Any property you get into, though, you should plan to have a good capital reserve account to address the problems that will inevitably come up.If you're looking for properties that have stronger cashflow, I would look toward the South East of the USA. 

I went to the ATM to today to see if I could just start withdrawing my funds from the account that way but since I have several virtual accounts with funds in each one and baselane only issued one debit card for the "main" account, it won't let me pull the funds from the additional accounts.

Account Closed  Let me know if we could be of assistance, we don't lock anyone to any long term contracts or penalizing to get out of.  

Assuming you no longer work at the company sponsoring your 401(k) you could look to move it into a self-directed account. 

Just curious what is the long term plan as far as minimizing tax in later years as the account in pre-tax become huge?   

It will say way faster, easier for showings and easier for everyone involved. 

I have a strong network here and know the key players/stakeholders in the community and am trying to learn how I can get involved to make an impact to change the community and restore the existing (beautiful) infrastructure. 

100% agree.. especially with syndication once your money is in their account you have zero control.. your not on the checking account your relying on either sponsor prepped financial although some are audited which is better of course..
