I'm planning to begin participating as much as I can in the UVREIA but I'm also considering a landlord association if one exists.Thoughts?

The broker I hung up my license with does not participate in the National Association of Realtors, so I am an agent or salesperson.

(Full disclosure: this is my personal bias and how I modeled my company 10 years ago.)COSTSMost turnkey companies do not charge fees nor do they participate in the rental income of your property.Your only costs should be your closing costs (escrow and title), your lenders fees if any, your appraisal if financing, and home inspection.WHAT TO LOOK FORWell, everything I mentioned above.Experience (personal and business).Knowledge (markets, strategy, due diligence, financing, etc, etc.).Systems (a detailed step-by-step purchase process).Easy access via phone and email.A company that is market agnostic.A company willing to spend all the time you need with you.Testimonials.References.I hope this helps a little bit.

Oh yes, participate.

If you do, you can create Solo 401k and use participant loan feature to access up to $50K in your retirement account tax free and penalty free.

I'm in the planning phase for my next purchase.Here's the information I gathered YESTERDAY (lol) after contacting several financial institutions (the info below is for conventional loans, FHA doesn't apply since it's not regarding primary residence)...- Chase, Bank of America and US Bank: 4 year waiting period from date of sale.

The one I'm most familiar with is the the Building Performance Institute (BPI), these are the ones my business operates under.

This class would include banks, credit unions, lending institutions and real estate investors who have lent money in the form of land contract, options, contract for deed, hard money lending, and private lending.

Keep in mind that when using retirement funds for real estate investing, you can do so, but you can not actively participate in the activity.

I'd like to get it fixed as this is one of the main reasons why I haven't been participating on the boards as much as of late.
