Hello Fellow BP'ers!I am in the process of acquiring more properties to fix and flip/buy and hold, however I have not been getting too many leads.  I have been doing the driving for dollars method, sending out letters...

Ideally I would like to get a 20 year loan on the property with no prepayment penalties around the 6 to 8% range.

I liked this idea because ideally I can buy another one in three years, and then in a year an a half and so on.

Greetings BP Network:Does anyone have any referrals for reputable companies that handle rollovers into self-directed IRAs?

Ideally, a newer MF in the expanding part of the city with great numbers (and within the budget) is what I'd like, but unfortunately that does not exist.Looking forward to the feedback.Thanks

Yes, I am, I'm prepping for my first mailing campaign and I have questions about direct mail marketing.

Without a solid contact (yet) in the construction industry here in Georgia, I am looking to the BP community to pint me in the right direction of  good resource to do this.

I've been thinking about getting in the rental business and could use some direction.

@Matthew CopelandTax Liens and Crowd Funding are pretty much the best options for a smaller account.Most investors will work within the standard financial services space to grow their savings and then switch to a self-directed account once they have the type of funding necessary to participate in more significant non-traditional assets such as real estate and notes.
