It illustrates the power of compound interest better than any other example I know.http://www.budgetsaresexy.com/2014/03/penny-compounding-interest/

Essentially, it allows you to use retirement money to purchase/create a business, and take money (profits) out of it NOW to avoid the additional penalty.Also keep in mind that the distributions would be hit at your highest tax rate... so if your distribution is "sizeable", your tax on it could be more than 25% (plus the 10% penalty of course).In the end, keep in mind that because of compounding interest, taking a tax hit now has a much bigger impact on your portfolio than taking a tax hit later.

I want to take advantage of the power of compounding interest.

You already feel you were pressured once to make a decision, don't compounded by letting yourself be pressured again. 

Instead, the income can be put back into the DST and compounded and then invested in Stock, Bonds, Mutual Funds.

But if you begin to compound the cashflow with the equity at the end of 30 years aren't you still getting a solid return on your initial investment? 

This problem can be compounded by listening to family and friends who are married to the idea of earning just enough to get by.

Unless it's compounded yearly, is that what your saying?

What I do understand is that through you or your family’s initial efforts, and now the compounding effort of your capital, my self and everyone is left with opportunity and a blue print.

I'm interested in partnering with locals and building new and creative ways to build equity and compound my investments!
