Hi,I am owning a nice house currently worth 600K (clean from any mortgage or debt) and finally understood that sitting on this kind of asset is just a monthly waste of money.As I am completely new to the real estate investment business, I am wondering whether it would be the right way to sell my current house and buy several assets for rental or keeping this and getting a loan/mortgage and buy, probably, fewer assets.I am sure there are many answers to my question but I'd really appreciate to just get some kind of idea of what the right direction would be.Thanks in advance for any replies  

Commercial real estate investing is largely a matter of analysis regarding financial data, conservative projections based on that data, and market/feasibility.  

Do you have any assets that you could take a loan against?

I now realize that working for someone else will not get me where I want to go financially.

.   -- I worked with IRA Financial GroupMy other unanswered question is - since he rolled over his IRA into the solo 401k - do I - as the 401k plan provider- need to document to the IRS that we received this distribution into the account?  

www.straightlinefunding.com They are a true hard money lender asset based.

@Danny Wu I cant answer that question right now but as I learn more about this area's market i'll talk to you about it. look online and do some research @Sean Lauber , my job pays me very well, but I'm looking for more financial independence.

If you just want secondary income, you won't need to buy as many as you would if you want complete financial freedom.

If you setup a self-directed IRA or Solo 401k and invest that plan in real estate, that is the plan investing in those assets.  

I was going to bootstrap every dime into my real estate business, and I was going to put myself out of the picture as something of a liability in the operation.2013-2015: It took 2 years, but I completed all projects and towards the end I continued expanding the portfolio some more to 12 bldgs and 15 doors.I am often told that my projects often reflect myself in a very clear way: I had never been comfortable in assets or projects I wouldn't be willing to "eat my own cooking".
