My current rentals are mortgages held in my name with traditional lending.  

They hold IRA accounts and can process transactions associated with an IRA's investment into non-traditional assets such as real estate.  

Traction REIA holds a monthly meeting in Tysons/Falls Church, but they are more traditional in that they are usually pushing a product or a system. 

Then they will refinance to 80% LTV.I believe the magic number of traditional mortgages one can have is four.

Yes I am financing the remaining with a traditional 30 year fixed loan. 

So, we're looking for an agent than can find the creative housing solutions that would include investors along with the traditional MLS listings.Please hit me up if you'd like to know more about this client.

Dimmers are just like normal switches as far as installation, that is more or less correct.As far as the type of light that can be dimmed... almost all light types can be dimmed. traditional light bulbs require nothing to dim properly.

It would have been easier to refinance a triplex then this more complicated system you are trying to figure a way out of.It might be easier on yourself if you went with a non traditional financing.

Invest in low cost index funds (like Vanguard total stock market but it depends on what your employer offers)5) Max out your *Roth* IRA for the year ($5.5k) invested the same as above (not point in investing in a traditional IRA given our tax level -- plus you can withdraw Roth IRA contributions in an emergency without a penalty - but you shouldn't as that's what the emergency fund is for)6) Split the rest and invest a portion in the stock market (Vanguard low cost index funds!) 

the market for wobbly boxes is much smaller than the market for traditional stick built single family homes.Now for the good part, you dont need any capital to flip homes.
