Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

I'm currently in the crawl phase for those of you familiar with the Crawl, Walk, Run approach so I'm looking for the best information and path to get started on this journey. 

This is anecdotal information based upon the interviews I’ve had with operators across the country.

I am not sure if I would make the same decision today.However, if you think you can purchase real estate and have a SIGNIFICANT delta as an investment, I would not cash out the 401k now to buy real estate. 

The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

I’ve never sold a note so going to ask some information from the experts.

Current timeline to purchase is probably 6-12 months as I start narrowing down and visiting some of the places to get a better idea over the next few months.

This is really a lot of information packed into a densely worded post.Yes, you can use loan proceeds to buy out another member, but it doesn't seem like you'll have enough to buy out and develop.

RentRedi has options of "Accept", "Reject", and "Request Update (more information)".

In addition to the different tracks @Chris Seveney descrubed, there is also good information on creative financing and seller financing (including what to avoid).
