Hello everyone,I’m currently living overseas and just getting started with real estate investing.

Hello, I recently located a new construction property that was built using helical piers from the start.

If you are looking for no money down deals thats where I would start.

Retirement accounts are illiquid (at least until you reach an age to start taking distributions.)
