Eventually I hope to be getting a few deals here and there off the website but it's not the main vehicle at this time. 

If you have the opportunity to make money and need a large sum of cash, then you should sell and get your capital out so that you can put it in another vehicle of your choice.The last thing I would do is rent it out, as it is only one property, and I personally am very biased against long distanced landlording.Another option would be to refi to the 3.6% rate you've been offered, then sell via owner-carry on a wraparound.

A 401k is an investment vehicle.

You have to make sure the garage is totally sealed on the inside.If not fumes from the vehicle can get in the house making them sick and in some cases can kill people.If you have gaps or places where the fumes can enter they get sucked in to the vents,gaps,etc. of the house.

Honeslty, you will see and read about all kinds of complicated investment vehicles in real estate, but if you understand the concepts of principal and interest, you can get to the bottom of most anything you need to figure out.

It is funny how so many do claim that, but only if you can and are willing to hold long term, do I see R/E being the vehicle of choice.

OFfer to take vehicles to a scrap yard, or show them how to donate the car and get tax benefits, tell them where a junkyard is where they can get money for parts, etc.not your responsibility,but it will be your gain in the end!

I do not know of anyone setting up an off shore company yet but I was told by an attorney that this is the vehicle he uses.

I have yet to personally own them, but have analized and been in negotiations with many in several states.There are pros and cons with every investment vehicle and this one is no different.The pros I experienced in my research and hands on experience was that you can get higher returns, and purchase a better cap rates than apartment buildings.

That's where you hop in your vehicle and find houses that are in distress like vacant homes.
