SFH, small apartment (1 to 6 units)?  

For that reason, even if when hes finally "settled" I'm not sure I'm interested in having him be a part of anything I'm doing.

Access to Yes-MLS which covers 36 counties and in 3 states!!

Also it will be awesome have a part in forming the club that will hopefully help students in the future see the value of real estate and get involved.I joined Biggerpockets to expand my network and to be a part of the resource I have been going to for all of my questions.

Low cap rate is from poor management and vacant apartments.

If it's option 1 I would recommend looking into a multifamily in a growing or very stable market that you know very well and have access to easily if its not a market in your back yard.If it's option 2 I would recommend vetting syndicators/sponsors and seeing who is investing in assets that align with you investment goals.

If you rolled an old-employer 401k into a new-employer 401k, you can access that portion that you rolled over.But if you buy real estate from your IRA, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GAIN SOME UNDERSTANDING of the limitations. 

Hey everyone, I've been a townhouse/apartment flipper in Vancouver, BC the last few years.
