I reviewed the numbers with my real estate agent today and we saw a 25% drop in closing prices vs. the 2022 peak in the area I was looking at.

But since i am not 59.5 years yet if I withdraw looks like 20% federal withholding charge and about 10% I have to pay in taxes which means i loose around 30% of my 401k amount which I  accrued over many years

Im more interested in creative financing and am currently looking to build a team (title company, real estate investor agents, attorneys, etc).

I have 'boots on the ground', with a local agent who is sending me multi-dwelling properties for Moncton and Saint John. 

Park Number One-The MLS, I was the fourth buyer after the first three canceled.Park Number Two-FacebookThere was an agent who asked "How do you sell a mobile home park?"

Your game-on is to decide what you feel the trends will be during your investing lifetime, and invest accordingly.I would interview several Insurance Agents (maybe start a thread on here?)

Things to look for:- Overgrown grass- Broken windows- Looks vacant (not kept up)- Trash not taken outYou’re looking for the worst house in a good neighborhood.I don’t know if you need a real estate agent at that point.

📈The Federal Reserve announced yesterday no changes in rates 🏦💼Brace yourselves for potential bank resistance, as they prefer the status quo. 🔄 Unchanged is the name of the game!

Is there any real estate agent or investor that invest in real estate would love to have a chat with them

To find out if/how this is feasible near Boston University, I'd recommend using BiggerPockets' Find an Agent feature to chat with an investor-friendly realtor who is active in the market.All the best to you on this next step in your journey!
