If that was a 200k loan lets say and they have 20 or 30 investors into one loan.. that's a lot of personal e mails that need to go out. and or fielding the inquiries as they come in.. they probably need to outsource this to india call centers  LOL.. but a premtive e mail as stated would probably keep folks calm.

Just e-mail the basic terms or ask them to send you a blank template you can fill in.

That said, here are a few tips that may help with your decision.You can typically cash out your investments at any time, and lock in the current value, even in an existing plan.You could rollover the existing plan to either a plain old IRA (E*trade, a bank, etc) or a self directed IRA while you have access and consider your options with non-traditional assets in a self directed plan in the future.Within a self directed IRA, you have the ability to invest in traditional assets, so money does not need to remain idle.The type of self directed plan you would pursue is the big question.  

s=real+e...In a nutshell, you don't NEED a RE license to be successful, but there are benefits to having one.

How do we e-shake on it?
