Hello BP, 

 I have a question for everyone. One that may seem silly. Through my bank, I have keep the change on my business checking and personal checking debit cards. Currently, these pennies go to their respective savings accounts. However, I am currently living well within my means and I save 80% of my savings towards beginning my real estate investing. I planned on starting with the eight year millionaire plan that I had read about, or at least follow along. 

My question is what is the best thing to do with these pennies? I was considering opening a ROTH/Self Directed IRA and having it deposited there automatically, so at least I'm building some kind of retirement fund, that I can invest with, but I also have a Brokerage account I could deposit this money to and use it to trade stock/options. Although I'm still young at 21, I never really thought an IRA was for me since I like to do all my investing now and be able to live off what I make. I've always figured by the time I'm ready to retire it wouldn't depend on some long term account. After all, if I'm a horrible investor, an IRA would get beaten up too.

Please give me all your thoughts and suggestions, I've been losing my mind trying to figure out what the best route is for my keep the change. 

Thanks in advance, 

Jason E.

Fear not, friends! I'm going to download them one by one and zip them together in blocks of ten that I can upload here or somewhere else! I'll be sure to share the link when I'm done! Ten blocks are much easier than one by one.

Hello Everyone,

    Being a truck driver, I spend a lot of time on the road with just my thoughts, especially when SiriusXM has nothing new on and is just repeating, and the weekends the stock market is closed! I would like to download all of the Podcasts to my phone so I can connect to my stereo and listen in my downtime. Last time I checked we had about 58, now we're up to 117 so I was wondering if somebody could tell me the easiest way to download them all, and what the average file size is. I live off a hotspot since decent WiFi is at few and far between truck stops, and don't want to blow through my data!

Best Regards,

    Jason E.

Also wondering if you are required to be an accredited investor.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. 

I'm no REI afficianado by any means, but I'll throw my two cents in here. When it comes to my retirement, I am not looking for net worth, but cash flow that will sustain a comfortable and worry free lifestyle. That being said, I'd take a look at notes, or buy and hold investing.

One of my professions is an equity trader. My income is not set in stone, but rather a percentage of profit that I make in my firm account. How would I be able to use this as a source of income, in addition to a regular "salary/overtime/commission" type job?

Hello BP,

After months of reading, asking questions, and posting on the forums I'm trying desperately to get involved! HGTV just doesn't cut it! I'm not sure if this is the traditional approach to finding a mentor, but here's to a little innovation and something different.

I've read a lot about finding a mentor and what that means for the mentor as well as the student. On my end, it means bringing value to the relationship, and making you some money. So, bottom line I'm here to impress you, tell you a bit about myself and my numbers, what I have planned, and try to build a professional business relation, and perhaps even better, a friendship. So if you'd be so kind as to read this post and give me the time of day and hear me out, it would be much appreciated! If you're still reading, thank you very much! Without further ado...

In 2010 while I was still in high school I became very interested in stocks. I began to follow the markets, but since I wasn't yet 18 I was unable to open a brokerage account so I could only "paper trade" and read books. This turned out to be a great thing for me because I started reading investment articles, subscribed to IBD, and began reading every book about the markets I could get my hands on. Now here I am, in present day, and I currently day trade and swing trade equities and commodities for a well respected firm in the financial district of New York City. Because of my career choice I'm very well versed in calculating risk to reward and many other factors important in investing. About 9 months ago, I wanted to increase my investing abilities and I started looking into real estate, because I realized while still in high school that assets, cash flow, and investments were important, and something that all of the world's wealthiest people participated in.

I realize that I need to bring value to any partner/friend/mentor I invest with and so I've outlined what I can offer you and bring to the table should you choose to invest your time and knowledge in me, and give me a chance. I'm interested in fix/flips, buy/hold, and notes! I'm willing to do the tedious work and all, as long as we can work together remotely. Reason being I just took up a job as a commercial cross country truck driver, so I won't be sitting still! Since I'll be in the truck a lot, and don't have a lot of monthly expenses, I took up this gig to stash away every penny I make for REI while continuing to build my trading account at the firm. I'm hoping to get an FHA Multifamily sometime in the next year. Anyways....

My Offer:

  • Cheap/Free Labor
  • Willingness To Learn
  • Deals, deals, deals! You're my guy/gal, so my deals are your deals. What I find I come to you with first so we can flip them together. 
  • A prodigy to make you proud!

What I ask:

  • Small, if any part of profit (I understand I have to build up my own capital, etc. if I want a larger cut of pie)
  • Answer Questions
  • Teach Me Your Wise Ways!

If you think I may be worth a shot, shoot me a PM/Colleague Request, or just reply to this post and I'll be in touch. If you'd like to meet me in person, don't be shy. I'm currently located in Las Vegas if you're in the area. Worst case scenario you hate me, and we enjoy a good lunch! I've also attached a link so that you can see the resume of what I've done this far in life as well as my LinkedIn Profile, if you have any interest! Please, check them out. I promise you I am not your average 21 year old, and what I've accomplished this far shows that I am determined to succeed in all my endeavors! Thanks for your time and I appreciate any suggestions you may have!

Markets move in cycles and it is very likely we will see prices rise and come to another top as we have seen time and time again. This could mean 5, 10, or 15 years from now, mind you. However, 2006 was a cataclysmic bubble fueled by many things and we likely will not see anything similar anytime soon, with fresh regulations and the after effects of what happened so fresh in so many minds, with many still recovering. Good luck.
