Since we only lend our own hard-earned money, this gives us the confidence that they are the kind of people with whom we want to do business—and vice versa.Most people are good people, but occasionally, we meet a stinker.

You might check with your Self-Directed IRA Trust Company/Custodian, they might have a brokerage connection capability where you can setup a brokerage account tied to your IRA, then you can with that brokerage to invest in various public market investments, in some cases stocks, mutual funds, ETF's, treasuries, and CD's.

I've been sending people to a Realtor/property manager in Sacramento.

Would be great to connect and bounce some ideas.

This isn't as hard-lined as many people think.

Everyone is there to learn and connect, and everyone started out with no experience. 

Step 1: Get preapproved for an FHA loan for the purchase price you are looking for.Step 2: Connect with builders until you find a few that will finance the construction of your home. 

People that are really into coffee (and that's a LOT of people) really appreciate the choices.

It would be great to connect!

I am looking to connect with local (to myself) investors who have made the leap out of state.
