I'm looking at moving into a newer, larger house.

And also, to know how your market is pricing so you know your numbers inside and out.Do you think that taking other wholesaler's deals from Craigslist (or wherever) and posting them, say on BP Marketplace, is a way of adding value because you are networking them to a larger audience. 

However on occasion we have been known to go above the 70% rule in the case of a higher end asset class with larger ARV's above the 800K range (Atlanta specific).

My question revolves around peoples' opinions on how to best prepare myself to invest in income producing properties in the next 3-4 years in regards to 401K v IRA v highly liquid personal stock portfolio.I have read many posts on here referring to using self-directed traditional or roth IRA's as the vehicle through which to invest in real estate, but I am curious if I have not yet started a roth would it be better to start a post-tax savings/ investment account so that I can be ready to jump on a deal nearly immediately if one presents itself?

These reserves do not need to be liquid, it can be 401k.

I would hope you are distributing your "mailings" to a larger body of prospective Attorneys.

Just with 4 owners and a larger disparity in the price I was second guessing myself.

Until you get 100% of your capital back your making no return as these houses are not liquid you can't look at it like the money is in the bank and I am making a 30% return.

I agree look in the outskirts of your market, they will soon follow suit of the larger metro area.  

But, if you're the seller,you will want to push for a larger down payment at P & S.Also, depending on where you are in MA, you can check to see if Redfin works for you're area.
