The economies of scale and professional onsite management make that vehicle truly passive (on e the due diligence phase is over).

A REIT is a great investment vehicle, run by professionals, that will be completely hands off.

The penalties for doing so are pretty stiff, so it really is best to understand the rules before transacting.Other than that, these retirement accounts can be really powerful, flexible, relatively low cost vehicles that provide great tax benefits without keeping you locked into the stock market like traditional retirement accounts.What did you have in mind for your investing?

@Andrey Y.The TSP is one of the best investment vehicles (if not the best) out there when it comes to index funds.  

If you fell in love with a vehicle you needed/wanted to have (in your case a Rolls-Royce) and didn't have money to buy it outright yet you leave a deposit with the seller with the promise to buy it at the end of the month, when low and behold, the money you thought you would have to buy the car completely didn't come through...

I'm currently without a vehicle deciding if I should get a used truck for 40k and pay roughly about 800 a month and enjoy what I drive or buy something for 5K cash and save more money for my REI and sacrifice having a nice car

Many use it as a savings vehicle because of the fact that contributions can be distributed penalty free without having touch the earnings.

Direct mail is a good vehicle and the first step is getting a list.1.

It's the only investment vehicle that you can get that type of a loan.

Mobile homes (with no land attached) are titled as motor vehicles in the State of Florida, so it's a completely different situation from a real estate transaction with a mortgage lien.
