I have 4plexes in Mesa, AZ and am interested in taking advantage of these rock-bottom mortgage rates, to pull cash out and expand.

The first deed is unrecorded.Also, if you can prove (recording checks, intake sheet, copy of all submitted docs/instruments) that the deed is in queue with the recorder and you are simply waiting for it to be indexed and returned, and you have a title commitment in hand, this should be a non-issue. 

Hey everyone,I wasn’t at first, but lately I’ve been extremely interested in taking money out of my 457k (retirement account for city workers like a 401k) to get my first investment property.

I think it'll need roof work, basement work (possible mold remediation), driveway needs concrete work, and general upgrades throughout.Looking for a reliable General Contract (GC) who's interested in taking on a fairly big project.After renovating, our plan is to sell.

I think diving in -- taking action -- is the best step.

The truth is, at a certain point, if you feel that real estate is a strategy that can impact your life positively, you'll have to jump in without being 100% confident.I will say, there will be some factors that can at least help you feel more comfortable and confident in taking the leap:-Soak up as much information and education as much as you can.

In looking at what the effort will be, we aren’t sure if we will need to pay for a class or do more research independently which has sort of halted us in taking action.

There’s also a feeling of pride in taking a more active role in your financial future.

I am interested in taking steps now that could help me get started.

I’m also not so comfortable in taking a 5 million dollars loan and going on a buying spree.
