Not even sure where you are pulling 30% from...Taking money from a traditional retirement account(non-Roth) now or later is subject to income tax at your marginal income tax bracket.Any 'planning' around distributions that you can do later can also be done now.If you want to take money out in a year where you are in a lower tax bracket(result of going back to school, taking a year off from work to travel, a year where you have a lot of losses from real estate via Real Estate Professional Status, etc).Also, hard to say what your income / tax rates will be when you retire.

I am looking to connect and network with investors and real estate professionals.

It's also nice, because there have been times when a stain needed to be professionally laundered, or we need supplies from the store, and the cleaner does it and just charges her time.

For those who want to know what the home looks like I have included in the listing many professional photos and a 3D interactive tour.

Hard money lenders, and private institution lender/businesses will only loan 70% of arv including the rehab cost, with experience. 

I hope that you can distinguish between those that are practitioners wanting to help and those that are professionals with something to sell here.

Quote from @Bill Brandt: thanks for the clarification, the parcels being sold are "better than average" the parcels being sold are on a private lane,  with mountain views,  have natural gas,  electric, fiber internet, and cell phone service available.
