Study and find out which vehicle you like.

Vehicles in the lot were rusted and decrepit.This property is listed for 920k and probably isn't even truly for sale.

@Jeff PiscioniereOne can flip houses with a checkbook IRA, but there are several considerations one must be aware of.While the vehicle provides you with Checkbook control, you need to be careful how involved you become in a flip transaction.  

I personally like permanent life insurance ;) You can take that tax-free money and put it into a tax-free growth vehicle so you don't have another capital gains tax problem.

BP, has been a wonderful vehicle for me, through networking, pod cast, etc.

BP is a wonderful vehicle for your journey, this community is number one.

I wouldn't wait to invest in other investment vehicles until I had 100k.

So, with your first observation, you have to Plan to have a Team that you know and Trust in order to set up a Business using a block of apartments as your vehicle.

If your looking at more of a passive investment you can look to a syndicate and you can expect to get 8-12% returns in that vehicle.

If they didn't do that, they would starve when winter arrives.The Future is VERY important.Another analogy I like to use is to Drive your Investments like an Investment Vehicle.When you look at past Data such as previous Sales, you are looking at the Rear View Mirror of your Investment Vehicle.When you look at current data, such as the current Rents and Expenses to calculate your Current cashflows or your Cash on Cash Return, you are looking at the side view... watching the action go by as it is occurring.When you look through the Windshield of your Investment Vehicle, you are looking at the road ahead.... seeing the path that it is taking you... and all the obstacles in the way.You are less likely to CRASH your investment vehicle by focusing on looking through your Windshield than remaining fixated on the Rear View Mirror or the Side Windows.If the bridge is out and you fail to see the bright red warning signs..... if your eyes are not looking straight through that windshield........ you will Drive your Investment Vehicle into the abyss down below.So please.....
