Tyson, first you have to activate your license by affiliating with a broker (I'm assuming you have a salesperson's license).

I have all of these sites up when searching for 1-Local Realty MLS (local vs national also has cheaper deals) 2-Crime Reports (at my price point, i want ot make sure you're only choosing "safe" neighborhoods and most municipalities have some sort of online presence with 30-60 days of crime reports) 3-Rentometer (this is a pretty accurate rent aggregator to tell you the low/medium/high rents for that address 4- Craigslist to see what type of rental activity is listed there.4) While you're there, meet up with some turnkey managers and property managers.

By the way, I'm pretty active in Pittsburgh, so feel free to reach out if you want to bounce ideas off somebody or otherwise share information.

So I will begin posting; hopefully we will engage in some really good conversations and share great ideas and info.

Single, but soon to be engaged - shhhh...don't tell her, it's a surprise!

Houston has 3 very active REIA groups you should check out and get involved with, RICH, Wealth and Quest IRA.Set some goals and stick with them!

I was thinking that especially when it comes to retirement accounts that the IRS would make every effort to make the case this kind of activity falls under broker/dealer activity and apply UBIT or classify it as a prohibited transaction to blew up a SDIRA or penalize a SoloK transaction.

I handled many of the property management functions and loved it.I currently run an event services company which serves my other passion of dog sports - my husband and I show and train Boxers and Dobermans, and are active in hosting and managing shows and trials.Getting ready to put my first house on the market, which is a property I lived at in Beloit, WI before getting married and moving to Rockford.

I really believe that those who engage the most in the forums tend to grow the fastest.

My family is now to the point where my wife and I think we'd better settle down so I am actively looking to grow my real estate holdings in other ways.
