The seminars I have gone to recommend transferring your traditional IRA funds to a Roth which costs you taxes now but shelters your profits in the Roth.  

Option A: live with family for free until we have new job(s) locked down, then move into real estate once we have a salary for a traditional mortgageOption B: rent a cheap apartment in GR to get our bearings in the city while looking for jobs, and learning more about the REI/rental marketplace by living thereOption C: explore creative funding options to speed up the purchase of our first investment property, which will help fund the purchase of our own homeOption D: look for a 2-unit to live in, fix, and rent before we purchase a larger home? 

Have you ever had a pipe burst from freezing.For those of you installing PEX, do you run it using a manifold system or is it more of a traditional branch system?

For all you handymen (and ladies)...A snow plow apparently knocked the mailbox over at one of my properties.

They came to you because they didn't fit the traditional mold.

The only thing we didn't do much of due to weather was landscaping because the ground is frozen and there is snow on top.  

Already signed up...unfortunately, snow has postponed many of the meetings.

Hope you're digging out from the snow (or vacationing somewhere warm!)

This tenant is doing the lawn and snow removal maintenance so they discounted his rent to $675.

You can't do any of the things in a traditional wall street firm held IRA that you can't in a SD IRA.
