Hey Michale, Best of luck and welcome to the site. 

You're in the business of building your real estate portfolio, not writing catchy blog headlines or bragging at cocktail properties.

Credit score on my personal Experian site shows as 818.

I cannot remember if I heard this idea on a podcast or read it in the forums or blog. 

I know a lot of the information was solid(although readily available through sites like this) but I noticed they had a web application at repropfinder.com.

Numbers wise, I'd need a $75/sq.ft. builder on an improved (all site work, including septic and water taps provided) and permitted lot I would provide and my target would be $120/sq.ft. retail.

The fact that YOU are taking your West coast gains and leaving would give me pause if I lived on the West coast. actually my Oregon investments are pretty substantial just not in the rental realm  all new construction.. just finished a 23 home project were I sold the homes at 425k to 500k... and have a 90 lot one lined up for next year.. that will be a 50 million dollar deal.. so no I am not taking it all out of state.. although we have some pretty substantial projects in Charleston SC as well.as you know this is predominately a landlord site... and I am not a landlord.. but quite active in real estate in other avenues.. 

For a list of banks that will loan funds to both a solo 401k and an IRA see the following. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/9552/70408-ira...

There's a wealth of information on Biggerpockets and I would suggest doing some self-educating on the different aspects of REI through the "Education" tab up at the top of the site.To be a little more specific, search for "House hacking" forums and blog posts to get a more in depth look as to how to get started with your condo and /or multifamily plan.Also consider why a condo and not just a multifamily to start...I could almost definitely say you don't need a RE company at this point.Like @Cameron Norfleet said, you could start with reaching out to a lender to see what types of financing you will qualify for. 

Hi,Anyone had experiences with buying from auction sites?
