Also there are a lot of other SD retirement vehicles that may be better or more appropriate for specific individuals like a i401K or solo401K or using that 401K along with the ROBS (rollover for business startup) which allows your 401K to fund your business startup.

note that as recent as march of this year, charlie crist nominated an incredibly liberal justice to the supreme court. he had to choose between an incredibly conservative judge (lawson) and an incredibly liberal one (perry). he choose perry.also, in past campaigns, crist was pro-choice and now claims to be pro-life. he voted against a waiting period for abortions (while a legislator) and supports same sex unions.he's also forced through 3 executive orders that would reduce greenhouse emissions, require california-style carbon dioxide monitors on vehicles, and force appliances to meet certain energy standards. all of these were influenced by al gore directly.i dunno tim, do some reading up on crist and you'll see he's pretty liberal. liberal enough for fl liberals to not hate him and for conservatives to cry that he was elected.

The Limited Partners will be prohibited from taking part in the project at all, or they lose their protection as being Limited Partners.The protection to the Limited Partners is that they are not liable for anything concerning the LLP except to the limit of the amount of their personal contribution.The General Partner bears all of the liability.The LLP is a great vehicle for people who want to limit their risk but still invest in development real estate projects, and for a Developer who wants to use other people's money but still make all of the decisions and move quickly.If you do the corporation correctly, you can effectively limit your own liability as well.I hope this helps.Good Luck.Michael Lantrip

Now I am considering selling a vehicle to boost reserves.

I want to buy a multifamily property to minimize my monthly expenses, and also because this is the niche I would like to focus on as the primary investing vehicle.
