Moreover, in the software community, "hacking" is not black hat activity at all; it's simply the job of putting software components together to build something useful. 

Leander to the north of Cedar Park is also packed with new builder activity.

Welcome to the active side of BP @Michael Puzzo!

I am currently in the Air Force active duty with a family, looking to invest in the Valdosta GA area.

I also like the new money show.I think being active on this site is great for moving along your real estate goals for a few reasons:1- you learn a ton from people who are doing this every day2- you get to see other's questions and often the information offered is useful to you as well3- you start being visible to other investors and can make connections with either local investors or others doing what you are interested in (flipping, wholesaling, buy and hold, etc.)Good luck!

Mark,Your best bet would be to look for a private lender, I'm not aware of any institutional lenders offering non-recourse financing to retirement accounts outside of the US.

High risk and you really need to be active in investing to come across these opportunities. 

I bet you could get cash flow if you bought a large lot single family and built a separate "accessory unit" cottage in the back yard or converted the garage to a rental.

It gives me a bit more confidence that the largest investor (>50% of the equity) is very experienced in the space and has been active over many cycles.

One more tip: get active here on the site!
