I owe a full amount of 40k+ to my lender in a month or two.Re-finanace (here's where my questions come in) - so I engage a traditional mortgage company?

@Donna LockwoodYou are considered "disqualified person" to your 401k plan, and as such prohibited from engaging in any transaction with your 401K or commingle personal funds with your 401k funds.

We have used technology especially in social media to vastly expand our industry contacts.4.

I would post on social media, reach out to real estate agents, and post on craigslist, facebook, and other free online sites. 

The next one is in July, but start following him on social media now because he may be speaking in your area sometime before then.

There is an older tenant on the one side and her $900 rent payments come straight from her social security.

Heaven forbid I that I came to a social media community of real estate investors with a mindset that'd I'd be able to network; foolish me.Since i'm not allowed to build partnerships with other start up investors in my local community, I'll say I'm here to make "friends". 

Another tip is to check social media--you would be, well maybe not, surprised what some idiots will put on their Facebook page.Also, as Ronny Reagan said about the Russians, "trust but verify." 

I even ran them back in the day when you could ask for social security numbers and walk right into a local credit bureau and walk out with the hard copy report in handI didn't really see an advantage either way. 

Based on my analysis, most properties for sale on Zillow cashflow only a few percent for multis and barely at all for single families.3) Considering I invest elsewhere and can wait as long as needed for a good deal to come around, should I engage a relator now or wait until I am able to find good deals?
