The overwhelming amount of RE Investing knowledge displayed on these pages has not only peeked my interest but has motivated me to explore RE Investing as a future business.

Anyone here on WF as an IM, I would be interested in talking to you about RE related JV opportunities.

The investors who are able to buy property creatively are going to be in a "POWER" position when the market re-corrects itself.

Thanks You could possibly try FSBO but if a buyer comes to you with a RE agent that agent will still want 3% of the sale price.

You’ll want to utilize the card regularly and pay at least part of the balance off each month in order to generate positive credit report entries on a monthly basis. •Personal loans – By going to one of your local banks and explaining that you’re trying to re-establish credit after a bankruptcy you should be able to convince your banker to lend you a small amount of money, say $1,000 or so, backed by a corresponding savings account or Certificate of Deposit (CD) account.

.$100k @ 4% in a CD = $4000 (less taxes)$100k down on a $500k RE investment returns cash flow & tax deductions to live off.

I agree an active business inside of the 401k would incur UBIT.Since I deal mostly with RE investors I like the no solo 401k UBIT exemption for debt financed income.Also, the borrowing privilege has helped several people to fund their personal real estate investing.Hmm...I used the wrong term in my post?!
