@Madeline jI would continue to maximize your 403b contributions but keep in-mind that you generally won't be able to transfer those funds to an IRA until you either stop working for that employer or reach age 59 1/2. 

I'm assuming they use alot of water and don't mind letting it run since they don't get a bill for it.

Some of the things I would like to include. keeping in mind the property is in California.I would rather not rent to smokers but If I must could I charge a smokers fee?

@James KojoThis is good question, I also had this exact same question in mind recently.It looks like a lot of good commercial MF deals come directly from brokers before it hits the market i.e. loopnet.I read several people saying that deals go to loopnet to die...

Mind you, this was a couple of days AFTER we said we would be interested at the 125 mark...And yes, I essentially waited them out.

Hi everyone,I am in the process of buying my first investment property...signed the contract but have two days to send the earnest money and 8 days for an inspection period. I made that decision right before reading B...

Hi @Collin Schwartz I have 2 main goals at this time:1) Network with like minded investors in the Metro Area to share ideas and best practices with.2) Identify key partners where I can leverage some sweat equity for equity share right now and when my own capital is freed up, a partner that I can invest with and split the work.#1 is of highest priority to me, #2 will depend solely on the relationship that is built and the deal at hand.Thanks for the reply.

If you don't mind me asking... where and how did you find your deal?

Tenants say they don't mind but in all reality I would expect them to get a little irritable in some way with their unit under construction.Not sure which route to take here.

The main question that comes to mind is: If i would like to grow capital to keep investing, is flipping my best option when compared to rentals?
