@Venkatesh B.Generally speaking, your current employer 401k plan will be locked up until you either leave the employer or reach age 59 1/2, and you would be unable to move those funds to a self-directed plan which you could deploy into real estate.  

I'm curious why you have multiple master locks from landlordlocks?

Congrats on locking up a deal.  

I would think about doing a hold back on the purchase price until you get proof the deposit has been returned.Then I would change the locks and renovate and look for my own tenants.

It's good to jump in the pool and learn how to swim later, just make sure you have a flotation device (bigger pockets!) 

I would listen to more of these if I could have them on a portable device.

This house had been empty and tied up in court for over 6 years because of the issue of it being land locked with no egress means.

I am looking for access to MLS, lock box keys, forms, and limited guidance when needed.

joshua, the managed account threshold is 1,000 you're right. it depends on how your company does business. i deal with nationally managed accounts that sends any and every order through VPP. i just posted another article about a different program people can utilize to save money on kitchen/bath items and lock sets among different items, Check it out

I'm in the IT industry but am looking to really dig into real estate investing because of it's potential to allow me to spend more time with family, live the lifestyle I want, and not be locked into a 9-5.
