I use to stay up until 2am every single day to do BS tasks, just to keep the deals coming.

Should I stay away from from certain contractor?

So looking forward to escaping the mouse trap that is the standard 401k plan but am very aware that significant care must be made in order to not get slaughtered by the IRS down the road due to any prohibited transactions. 

The houses are old, and people stay a long time.

I am not opposed to a reduced monthly expense, however would it be wise to stay patient and keep looking around for something that cash flows.ThanksColby Todd

Milwaukee will look cheap to you, but my recommendation is to stay away from low income and high crime areas and invest in areas with better school districts, especially if you are investing for someone else, you want to make sure you are buying a quality asset that will perform well past year one.See you around!

I would turn on my heat maybe once a week, in Milwaukee, to knock off the chill, but it would stay warm for a VERY long time.

And it requires that you personally stay within IRS regulations.It is also possible to set up a self-directed IRA with checkbook control.Once you move money to a ROTH IRA you cannot move it back to a ROTH 401k. 

The most important thing you need to do is call around now and find a general contractor that you like and trust, and more importantly, is willing to work with you on a 203k and is aware if the information that will need to be provided and that will provide that information in a timely manner. 

Again, our credit will be good to go after the sale of our house proceeds pays off our older bad credit, ( I am aware it will drop first before rising once accounts are paid off)  I also just opened up a secured credit card to start building good credit per our lenders suggestion that is working with us to build it.
