I am new to the world of RE Investing. 

BiggerPockets community, when I come across a MLS alert email from a RE agent, I have a hard time finding the following numbers, which are absolutely essential to run my cashflow and ROI analysis in a buy and hold scenario.

I will re-run the numbers.

That's the only way I know of to be involved in a RE transaction without having any of your own money, but it's hard work.

Hello all.  I have been doing some reading on a Self Direct IRA for which an individual can take their 401k funds and move to a Self Directed IRA in order to purchase an investment property.  I get the basic overview ...

If you want to do that in the RE world, you should explore wholesaling, that is the only way I am aware that you can still be in the game and network without having to have any money.

I re checked the PM thing after reading your post.

Real estate and stocks both seem pretty overvalued now .RE especially in L.A ..

This website can give you a lot of info for that, but a few ideas to think of if you are interested in starting right away as a RE investor (recommended!)
