I also would like to contribute more to my retirement fund as well as create an increased source of income and help better the community.

I look forward to getting to know as many of the forum members as possible and learning as much as I can, as well as in time one day being able to contribute myself to the vast knowledge base and expertise that is obviously already collected here.Very much glad to be here!

I've lived rent free, haven't contributed to a mortgage payment and have 1 extra month of collected rent from 2 units prior to beginning payments on the mortgage.  

I have mentors on BP who will handle this for me when I find the right property but I'd love to contribute some knowledge when I ask for the favor lol.  

My name is Ian Scott, my contribution to REI at this very exciting beginning of my real estate career is that I recently got my real estate license here in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Certain of them even don't know how to do a MCA and no contribution but wait for commission desperately.

Account Closed Yes I have looked into it somewhat, but if I remember correctly there are contribution limits just like with normal IRAs so it would be a multi-year effort to build up enough capital for just a single house right?  

Were you looking for areas you can drive and contribute to, or just hiring out?  

I have been reading alot of books on real estate investment and am very confident in my ability to analyse a property and calculate all the important investment ratios, however I am no expert and will need to look at atleast 100 more deals.The Game PlanI currently have two game plans I am looking into....so I will list them both and then ask my questionPlan #1 90k upon graduation saved up (co-ops) (Starting salary 95k)Saving 40% of income 38k a year savedWork 7 years (contributing min to 401k)After 7 years 356k saved in cash (Age 30)Buy a multifamily building 1.4m (75 LTV 25 down)Been talking to family about plan #1 could potentially raise 50k for the apartment deal as well by bringing them on as investorsI received feedback from another investor who told me "The biggest problem with your plan right now is holding on to all that cash--which isn't doing anything.

The listing agent should know enough about the deal to structure the offer the best way.....there may additional junior liens that need a contribution from you to be satisfied, so you'd lower offer by that much.
