I've seen a lot of mentions in the forums of people wanting to do this strategy, because especially in todays market it is tough to find deals with a traditional strategy.

Basically you would rollover your IRA (Roth or Traditional), 401k or HSA to them, then it would be invested in real estate or other passive income options (of which there are many).

@Michelle Oblena You're correct as this is an accountant's field of expertise and not mine but from my experience, if a borrower cashes out a Roth or Traditional IRA, the tax penalties that will be eventually incurred the next year will need to be taken into account.

Maybe review the investment choices in your 401k plan as carefully as you would stock purchases from your non-retirement $$.

They do this in order to protect the government money and not pay more (voucher program) in one area than what tradition rent price/ salaries have demanded. 

@Sher J.We're moderately debt-averse, which we know is controversial but it's also a personal choice.

At that price point, closing costs are roughly 20% of the purchase price, which makes the choice of financing or buying cash an easy one.The good news is, my monthly revenue will go up almost $200, but my COC % drops to 17%... still not bad.I closed on the property last week and I'm already looking for the next investment!

You have several choices: pay to have someone haul it and compost; build a wire cage about 4' tall to place grass clippings and dry not colored newsprint to allow to compost; ignore and see if you get fined...

My rentals are in Delaware County so they ended up being the best choice for me. 

I couldn't get traditional financing.
