So you shut your hole, and you keep your friend.Sometimes, the difference in your lifestyles forces you to speak.

I haven't used it and cannot speak to it.Zibo.comThis is another free website where you can collect rent electronically and have an interest checking account.  

I've never taken out a loan against my 401(k), so I can't speak to that, but no matter how bullish you are on real estate, you want to have other sources of retirement funds too, if only for piece of mind.I hope you let us know how it goes!

I could be wrong.Anyways, I tried calling the branch office that it is addressed to on the records and once speaking to the manager… she said all that she can do it tell me to contact a real estate agent.

Beyond the internet research I perform, I want to begin speaking with local property managers, real estate agents, contractors, etc. to get some expert advice on neighborhoods and market trends.Being the socially awkward individual I am, I am having a hard time imagining why these people would give me the time of day.Has it been everyone's experience that when you call a property manager on top of the google page with a bunch of questions, they spend the time with you to earn your potential business?

I will speak to my boss this week and see if he has a good idea of a radius this could be in.

With us, that size portfolio is going to be more in the $10M range and many investors I speak too would rather do some diversification into other investments before they hit that number.  

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

But after speaking with my realtor, I'm leaning towards flipping it. 

.- speak to everyone you know about REI.
