I've been talking with HomeVestors about joining their organization and they have referred me to Benetrends to utilize the funds I have in my 401k, not much, just over $200,000 to form a corporation and use those funds to buy my first fix and flip for profit.I'm not very savvy about the differences mentioned above and only aware of Benetrends and Guidant because of referrals and their marketing.If anyone on these forums can help a simple minded old guy decipher the differences and make an intelligent decision before I commit to something I might regret, I'd greatly appreciate the input from you.Whether it's from actual experience or just an educated guess...I'd love to discuss the options,Both in regards to HomeVestors in a rural setting, but primarily concerned with the 401k issue I am considering and trying to understand and evaluate the comments by Dimitry.Thanks in advance and hope you all enjoyed your Fathers Day (I sure miss my Dad).

I would be interested in connecting about Indianapolis, as I've already looked into that market and I'm trying to decipher which areas have B and C class properties... evaluating these areas from a distance it is often hard to tell whether you're looking at a C property or a D class property (which I've invested in previously and now know to avoid). 

@Rich HupperHi RichTo decipher the problem you are having, I would need to talk with you and role play, me being the prospective seller.How you sound (tonality) is as important as what you say (content).And what you say is really important!

Media today is so convoluted that it's tough to decipher BS news from credible news.

It lets me have a no-kidding perspective of my income/expense without having to decipher my personal expenses as well. 

If you cannot decipher the BS from the truth because you are ignorant of them, your chances of success in the long term are much less.  

Asset managers have to read many of these everyday, and many can be very difficult to decipher.

Sounds like you have a great goal and you just have to decipher your plan to reach it.

I can say it was worth it but of course this information is available online only i would have to do many more hours of research and decipher credible from fiction etc.  

There is quite a bit of crime inside the loop and the nicer areas are a little harder to decipher.
