I am looking for people to either share there knowledge with me or point me in a direction were i can achieve this knowledge.

Do not cash in your IRA early and eat the taxes and early withdrawal penalty.

It's a great selling point for most people, even though your real motives are self-serving (being able to get them out without evicting).  

They said we didn't even come close, but a week later,a duplex directly next door sold $68K So PATIENCE,PERSISTENCE ,and PERSEVERANCE ........And away we go.I listened to a podcast the other day,he said  " PERSISTENCE + OPPORTUNITY= LUCK "SO I THINK THE A ANSWER IS TO TAKE ACTION WHAT SAY YOU ?

My struggle I have had is that I am self-employed (realtor) and unfortunately I wrote off to much on my last 2 year of taxes and so my DTI doesn't look so good now.

I feel like I'm going in 5 directions at once.

I have bought directly from the bank before, but not through this website.

You just took a giant leap in the right direction; signing up on Bigger Pockets!

HER PARENTS BOTH HAD ALZHEIMER'S,HER DAD PASSED AWAY IN DEC,AND JUST TRYING TO KEEP MY PROMISE TO HIM THAT I WOULDN'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HER,BUT THE MONEY I HAVE ALSO CAME FROM A IRA FUND THAT MY DAD LEFT ME IN APRIL WHEN HE PASSED.I REALLY WANTED TO BUY A HOME WITH THAT MONEY AS A DOWN PAYMENT,BUT IF I THINK I CAN GET IT BACK LATER THEN I WILL BE THE HERO FOR NOW ANYWAY.

I think @Adam Menconi is up in Santa Rosa, but believe he deals with some high-end stuff in the area, and may be able to help you out or point you in the right direction.
