Hi all,I just saw this blog posting and wanted to share with everyone.

Actually, this blog post from @Ben Leybovich may help you find a good property management firm - I thought these questions were extremely good:http://justaskbenwhy.com/rental-property-management/

We have learned so much from your blogs and pod casts.  

You may want to check out some of the articles by @Sharon Vornholt on the BP blog.

I'm looking to discover new non-recourse lenders that do business with IRAs and other qualified plans.

Like a Contract for Deed.See http://beta.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3-reiskills-an... and search for Contract for Option.And a requirement could be to save money in a savings account.And also to see a Credit Coach like the one I use - Blair at http://upgrademycredit.com/categories/ @Michael Campbell  Lease 2 Own, where you help a seller sell on Lease 2 Own, and help a buyer get a mortgage through Lease 2 Own is a good strategy. 

I have already stayed a few hours late at my work desk and am reading all these blogs.

I've gotten so much great advice here on the forums thus far, and that's an understatement.Check out the Bigger Pockets blog to get some real world insight from investors from all over the place who are killin' it!
