I am still personally buying rentals but I am not expecting much in the way of cash flow at the moment.

I've know him personally for years, had the opportunity to consult with him on both sides of the business and have to say he's the real deal. 

With a Conventional Loan you can buy a SFH, Duplex, Triplex or Quadplex with as little as 5% Down if it is your primary residence as long as you have the intention of occupying one of the units for 1 year after closing escrow.This is the strategy I have personally implemented and have assisted many of my investor clients in doing the same. 20% Down is also beneficial as it keeps your payment low but it does limit your ability of buying more real estate faster.i would be more than happy to discuss the different strategies with you over the phone or in person.

If the IRS has a Form 1098, they assume that the person listed on the form made the payments, and they move on. 

Account holders can't take any write-offs personally for investments made in the 401k.

Another benefit is it is much easier to diversify into multiple markets, asset classes and operators.Just wanted to share an alternative - often active investing is the way to go, but it really depends on the person and it is important to know that there are passive ways to accomplish your financial goals.Good luck!

I have no experience personally investing with them.   

Conventional would allow you to add a fence or do yard work in your bid.I cannot lend to you personally in MA but happy to answer any general questions about the 203k or other Renovation loan programs!
