I live only an hour drive from Greenville, which makes it a desirable place for me to invest and I look forward to meeting people who know the area!

I recently earned my real estate license and began my new journey.

The benefit of the Roth treatment is the tax-free growth you can earn while keeping the money working in the retirement plan.If your goal is to purchase a property personally, a 401k participant loan may be a better route, assuming you have access to such.As a self employed realtor, you may wish to explore the idea of a Solo 401k plan.  

@Stephanie DobbsBanks will not let you buy on lease option, ever ever ever.If you want to buy a property you need to have good credit and down payment and a job in the ditch earnings ratio under 43% usually.

I can buy war zone property and get 20-30 caps if I had the desire to own in the war zone   Cap comps arent how we track or evaluate property.  

I'm interested in wholesaling to learn more about REI and earn capital to cash invest. 

I want to be earning at least 5k a month in rentals by the time I turn 60 with a goal of owning atleast 7 rental houses.

We would like to flip to earn capital for future buy and holds.  

Earn a JV Fee of $10K or so5.

A desire to own, but insecurity about the market.
