I love to talk real estate and have been doing a lot of research and educating myself  in the past months and I believe Cincinnati Ohio would be a great place to invest in small multifamily properties and would like to eventually work my way up to larger multifamily properties. 

--details on income and current situation - income wise i make at least $1,000 every two weeks from my current job.i have, in my opinion a great situation, i still live with my parents however all i have to worry about is paying my phone bill and insurance while bringing in some food on the table, so im grateful for my situation so far since it allows me to save as much as i can.#1 - since i have a place to live already, would it be wise to get a duplex (or better) and just be able to rent all the rooms out?

The apartments are ugly as sin on the outside, in my opinion.

I'm sure others will have their own opinion, but i'm just not seeing how wholesaling is viable in Southern California (based off of what i'm seeing in our county) in this sellers' market.  

I want some sound advice and people to help introduce me to more information so that I can educate myself and work towards my goals.

Been looking on HAR & have a few realitors whom work for a big investor we know looking for us, but I’d like to get some Houstonians opinions on the market as I have been away in Chicago for a number of years.....Where should I look?

We are educated but we lack the practical experience, our heads go blank once we try to map out the process and due diligence with hard money lenders and contractors. 

(c) Prohibited transaction(1) General ruleFor purposes of this section, the term “prohibited transaction” means any direct or indirect—(A) sale or exchange, or leasing, of any property between a plan and a disqualified person;(B) lending of money or other extension of credit between a plan and a disqualified person;(C) furnishing of goods, services, or facilities between a plan and a disqualified person;(D) transfer to, or use by or for the benefit of, a disqualified person of the income or assets of a plan;(E) act by a disqualified person who is a fiduciary whereby he deals with the income or assets of a plan in his own interest or for his own account; or(F) receipt of any consideration for his own personal account by any disqualified person who is a fiduciary from any party dealing with the plan in connection with a transaction involving the income or assets of the plan.Purely my opinion here, but the between interpretation would seem to make sense as the proper intent of the code.
