Interesting to hear about the AC - I know one thing I'm going to struggle with is not adding all of the things so I need to concentrate on learning what features will add enough value to justify the cost in my market.

-i searched on google maps and it has this amazing feature that allows you to see the street in "3D" so with the mouse on my computer i "drove" around the neighborhood i would like to wholesale in, (where i think the best deals FOR THE BUYER) will be, not for my personal gain. with wholesaling, when doing research on properties, its easy to get excited about what you can potentially make, but anyone who has read "think and grow rich" knows that any profit is a reward. my motivation for wholesaling houses in the "hood" is because it is my home.

I am worried that I will have to get rid of bamboo which is one of the most attractive features of this house.

I think it would make sense to put some of your funds in the Roth bucket of your 401k.And the loan feature of the 401k will give you the ability to access some of your funds should you have a need before retiring tax and penalties free. 

Another crucial piece of this is knowing what's going on in your city/market as far as population growth, employment, industry etc.

If you want to access some of the funds from your 401k for personal use (investments), you could utilize the participant loan feature, which would allow each participant to access up to $50,000 of your retirement funds, tax-free and penalties-free.

I don't have direct experience with Clayton Morris of Morris Invest, nor his wife Natali, but I have followed them for years as broadcasters and technology pundits.They have both been featured guests on This Week in Tech (TWIT) for years, and both held various jobs in the mainstream tech media before starting to build platforms of their own.I was bemused when two of my usually separate spheres of interest (tech and real estate) seemed to converge, as Clayton and Natali started pivoting from tech to real estate.They are thoughtful, entrepreneurial folks, and good at building awareness and interest.

Real estate is a relationship business you have to build relationships to build a real estate career plus it is crucial to learn your market area. 

Since we implemented this feature in our postcard funnel our response rates more than doubled.Many sellers may be interested in learning more about what you can do for them, but are reluctant to call.
