Pay attention to the articles, forums, BiggerPockets Blog, etc.There's enough here to get any investor started!

I have a real short attention span and bore quickly.

Pay attention to that section of the property card.

The amusing part is all this "insider stuff" is really right out in the open if you just pay attention to it.

If you are satisfied earning 8% compomuded over the next 30 years(hopefully you have that much time to leave your money alone) then invest in equities and hopefully when it comes time that you need to pull some of your gains to supplement your income you dont hit a 2008 becuase then your 8% turns into about 5-6%(great advice). stick with what I'm saying and you will be fine Fertile. invest in yourself, educate yourself in what you are interested in. and hopefully what your interested in, you can control such as real estate, your own business,selling shares of your own company or your own offering, etc. you are an outsider looking in if you throw your 500 bucks into a fortune 500 company and by no means do you have any control whatsoever.

You are right, but after paying the tax now, the gains and all future income/withdrawls are tax FREE.That said, if you have opportunity to invest the funds outside of the IRA and make substantial returns to offset your tax exposure, then you have a viable option.

These forums are great for many things related to Lonnie Deals, and once in a while real experts like John Hyre posts tax advice here, which is well worth paying attention to, but, to the best of my knowledge, very few true experts on lending even know this forum exists.

After advertising you property, how else can I get the attention of section 8 tenants?

Or if there is a market, fix and flip the 4-unit to a possible owner-occupant, or investor.This will put additional cash in your pocket and help you gain experience.
