You could possibly loan that money in short term financing to another investor or now is a great time to contribute it to a self directed IRA then use it lots of ways.Finally you could get in touch with me and we can talk live so I quit burning up my computer because there isn't enough space on this blog to discuss everything lol.I'm not by any means a guru or an expert but I like you started with just a little money (or actually less than a little money) and am slowly but surely building something great. 

I understand that there is a way to roll over funds from a 401K into a IRA; self directed I think.Has anyone done that?

I opened a Self directed IRA this year and purchased a small interest in a private placement LLC.  

Finally a hedge fund manager in Silicon Valley.I taught my children value of bank account(age 8), IRA(age: 7).

Ever wonder if it was possible to invest in real estate through your IRA?

From a larger perspective however, I might ask, are you contributing to a 401K or IRA?

@John HumphriesTry IRA Services Trust Company out of San Carlos, CA.

What if I setup a Roth IRA (to be honest, I'm posting this for someone else who is much closer to 59 than I am, so keep that in mind)?

Let's say I had 20K in SSI, and took 10K out of my Traditional IRA.

Some good months, some slow months.My credit is excellent.Question :Based on the above, is it possible to begin investing with say $15,000 as a down payment ( I'm thinking of using my 401k/IRA) ?
