That's where you hop in your vehicle and find houses that are in distress like vacant homes.

However, it is possible for an MP to get excited about an 8% return when it is being compared to a low yielding investment vehicle like a money market, a bond fund, or CD.

IRAs and 401ks are investment vehicles and are intended for passive investments, not running businesses.

Self directed IRAs and 401ks can be great investment vehicles, but it is important to know the basic rules that govern them so one can stay out of trouble while growing their retirement funds.

My plan involved using the 150k to pay off my current loan and the remainder of a vehicle loan which would reduce my monthly bills by 350$ but the 150k loan would have to have a term of 30 years.

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.....

Plus you can work up to 100% out of your home depending on the job, plus you are given a vehicle, laptop, cell phone, fax line...and you are paid to drive around neighborhoods looking at distressed and sometimes vacant, foreclosed property all day.

For the lower rated tranches of these vehicles, the value may be nearly zero.
