I bet the big-fund guys literally own 000s of properties in the greater Charlotte area and are sitting on a gold mine if they ever decide to sell at the top of the market. 

For example within the solo 401k I decide to purchase metals such as gold and silver and also invest in real estate.

Make it an adventure with your family by sharing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

I'm still waiting to buy a house with money and gold bullion hidden in the walls by someone who didn't trust banks.But, in the meantime. 

But it's the strategy and opportunities inside those requirements that are your real gold. 

That's where great realtors like Avery are worth their weight in gold because they have their finger not just on the sales . market but also on the rental market industry.  

Typically there are origination points, so if there are 2 points up front, offer the other lender 2.5 and you take 0.5 on the first round for showing you around your first.Also, "he who has the gold makes the rules". 

This is also something that works a lot better with local banks (who love to compete and grab a potential rival’s business) than the big national chains (who are more like this is our rate, take it or leave it).Let us know if you need any help finding a local real estate meetup such as the one this Thursday, too.

I use local and chain banks for checking and hold my money in an online savings account.
