Chinese investors have gotten very active in Collin County. 

., he gets it).Oh, and he's active on BiggerPockets, which is a huge plus in my books.Best of luck to you!

Take advantage of long term investment benefits - stomach the dips/rises & retire by 60, have a maid do my laundry/clean my house/cook my food, live in an area with nice weather, workout every day, ride motorcycles, drive sports cars, do track days, visit Vegas whenever I want.I plan to do this with income properties - buy a duplex, 3-4 unit, and into the bigger (15-20 unit) closer to retirement.Long Beach investors - hit me up!

I have boots on the ground here and am a very active wholesaler/ landlord myself.  

My husband is active duty navy.

Now of course I don't want to waste my draws BUT I'm looking at actively using the HELOC so that should take care of not having to pay the annual fee.

Just continue to build relationships and be as active as you can on BP and within your local REIA, and REI Meet ups.

What would become an issue as relates to flipping with an IRA is the tax-exempt entity is engaging in a trade or business activity (as opposed to passive investments such as hard money lending, dividends, rents from real property, etc).  

As such, I have quite a bit of time to listen to the BP podcast, so I am taking time finally to get active on the forum and introduce myself.I will be 42 in a few short weeks.

However it really works best for active agents who are good at their craft.
