We currently live frugally, have no debt, have built up our savings account and now we need to put it to work for us.I have some accidental experience with rental properties that weren't purchase as investments.

Regarding foreclosures and short sales:One thing to take into account, for a VA loan, the house has to be in livable condition.

But even after accounting for that, very little of my time was spent boots on the ground.

You have to find lenders (and there are plenty of them in Arizona to choose from) that offer non-recourse loans where the solo 401k account is listed as the buyer (not you as an individual).

Been studying lease options for about 2 months now and can't find any information I haven't heard yet.

Still studying though and will nail down a strategy hopefully within the next few months. 

Today we are announcing that we have added thousands of dollars in savings to the Pro account!

Probably the most comprehensive study of real estate cycles going back to the colonial days in America.

Because I have a wealth account with them, I get a better rate than is advertised.

Account Closed - Are you talking about a house to reside in without any renters?
