At that point, a pure cash flow investment is going to look pretty crumby compared to something tied to an inflation index.Someone gives you a million dollars today.

Originally posted by Jon Holdman:Yes, you have your Roth get a non-recourse loan for the difference.A non-recourse loan will run you 40-50% down payment and 6.5-7% interest.I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but you may want to see what the tax hit is for liquidating the IRA and compare it to what you could get with a normal loan.

But you may not know how severe the movement is unless you have experience evaluating such things and have a basis to compare.

Hey All,Looking for a low cost, reliable Transactional Funding Source to fund my Wholesale deals that require a double closing.

I'm in Massachusetts and the rental market is booming and I'd like to find reliable resources to work with.

I really enjoyed the process of my first deal and would like to do another one sooner...If I get a mortgage on the house, I'll probably be looking at 3000+ in closing costs, which is a lot compared to the amount invested.

I am not trying to discourage anyone, as you can eventually get to a point to where other people can do most things for you, but getting there generally takes a long time (finding intelligent, reliable people is not easy).

I'm trying to purchase a flip and want to get some names of reliable and experienced general contractors.

I think I will go this route as the PMI will not add a significant % to the interest when compared with interest I would pay to get that 20k by other means (student loans not paid off).I have found a house listed at 125k that is a 3/2 1000 sq. ft. ranch with nice updates (granite countertops, hardwood refinish, cherry wood cabinets, finished basement, modern bathrooms, etc.), garage, deck, and an 800 sq. ft., finished, basement.

Let's all meet back here in 10 years and compare total returns.
