Wished I discovered it sooner...I am in Houston TX.

However, I am running in to constant walls when it comes to finding ways to doing this.At first I was hoping to use the inherited 401k for a personal loan, but then discovered that wouldn't be an option as its not my 401k nor my spouses.

I discovered that all the current tenants have previous evictions! 

I've definitely been on a journey in discovering more of the nuances with real estate and continue to do so (makes for long days at work and long nights trying to learn more and build my real estate investments but hopefully worth all the effort - and honestly it is pretty fun). 

The exact verbiage they used is "our cat           is now a registered emotional support cat and cannot be discriminated against no matter the issue" Clearing showing that the cat was a pet when it was discovered. 

I have discovered that one of the tenants are looking to move out. 

That is secret code for, "all the professional property managers won't rent to me, so I am looking for a private landlord without screening standards..."

My husband recently discovered that you can actually borrow against those investments in the form of a loan.

Look at any and all deals closely to access and discover any shortcomings, if any.

The secret on real estate is out, and nearly every market is saturated with buyers.
