Do you think it is best to first max out Roth IRA before investing in real estate?

I put an offer in on the rental I currently occupy, but came in under where my landlord (and 1 partner in this property) were looking at to even entertain giving up a cash flowing property. - He bought this 4br/2ba for 285k put 20k +/- in and I rent for 2700.

Is this legit?

Thanks to the BiggerPockets team for laying out all the info and creating the forums.Cheers,Doug

I have wholesaled properties like this in the past, but I'd like to keep this one for myself if possible. 

Opt for a property management company with deep regional expertise to get the most out of your investment.Property Expertise: Look for a firm that has experience managing properties similar to yours and is familiar with your asset class’s specific challenges.Company Culture: Choose a firm with a customer-focused culture that values team management and service, as this directly affects property performance.Market Reputation: Speak with local brokers and visit managed properties to get a sense of the company’s track record.By focusing on these factors, you can find a property management company that aligns with your goals and delivers real value.

I'm just checking in with the community again.

Keep pushing forward—this is just the beginning, and I’m excited to see where your journey takes you!

I haven't quite figured out if its possible to transfer certain licenses to certain states if you are a real estate agent or broker. 

If yes please let me know more about it.I am asking this question as I am interested in buying and managing a Multi-Family or Apartment or commercial building in North Carolina ( Charlotte or Raleigh).Thanks/Regards,Ram
