We love our paid for properties because of the epic cash flow and security!  

My apartment's lease isn't up until March of 2017 which gives me plenty of time to save up for the down payment, secure financing, and locate a great deal which leads me to ask @Randy Johnston I would like to touch bases with you to learn more about multi-family homes here in our area.

Typically when one states "you want to have someone invest in your company", you generally come under securities laws and any good self directed IRA custodian who are worth their salt, would ask for information that complies with securities regulations for raising of capital, whether is exempt securities or otherwise.If your intention is to borrow monies, and provide a mortgage (and most specifically provide a mortgage), there is a huge exemption for that.This does not matter whether is comes from a self directed IRA or 401K or otherwise.

If I collect a deposit, it is only used as security that I get paid, there are as many shady investors as contractors in LA.

Does anyone have any tips, techniques or experiences they would like to share on how a new real estate investor that is trying to get in the game should go about obtaining and mentor and establishing a team

We decided to take a course and learn real estate investing so we can secure our financial futures.

However, I've never made a lot of money and when I review my Social Security statements -- YIKES!  

Nothing personal but if you do let him stay, increase the rent and add the difference on the security deposit.

What are techniques people have used to entice tenants to allow for an open house.Thanks

I have security monitoring through a company  that uses the Qolsys IQ Panel in conjunction with Alarm.com, and this works as a Z-wave hub for multiple products including security, wifi thermostats, electronic locks, lights, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide, freeze detectors, and more in the future I'm sure.
