Thanks for uploading this @Sharad M.

Which base are you at @Adine Mateo ? I've got friends at LA AFB and I'm living in Vegas

Thanks for the direction, @Ted Schmidt

Look forward to seeing you at another meeting soon @Phillip Dwyer

What do ya'll think about contacting a relocation service and sacrificing a bit of commission to get warm leads?

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times already, but here it goes. I just passed the broker/salesperson test today and I'm curious if there are any legitimate networks out there or even here on BP that realtors can use to lead other broker/salespersons to refer clients to them. My mentor discounts getting leads from referrals because he doesn't want to sacrifice the 25% when he could be developing leads for full commission. However, for someone starting out with a limited advertising budget financially and time wise (I have a separate full time job) does anyone have a recommendation for generating "easy" leads if I'm willing to give up the referral? Also, any free advice you'd be willing to share for a newbie won't fall on deaf ears. Thanks!

@Phillip Dwyer are you holding another meet up this month? @Jonathan McMahon and I would love to attend!

@Ben Zimmer

Congrats on your decision to become a pilot, let me know if you have any questions or just need a sounding board, I've been flying for about 7 years now, the last 2-3 have been full time.

@Doreen Chaisson @Dmitriy Fomichenko

thanks to both of you for your quick replies and simplifying this a bit!

I'm a new member here on the forum and have a couple questions about SDIRAs and SD-401ks. I'm just starting my career as an active duty military member but I also independent contractor work as a flight instructor so I'm not sure if I qualify for a solo 401k or not? I've got approximately 15k in my Roth, and as I understand it I can use that as a down payment and get a mortgage on a buy and hold property? I'm very much oriented towards long term wealth growth and cash flow as passively as reasonably possible. I've had a mentor suggest liquidating my Roth IRA to buy a rental, but I don't see why I would do that if I can just buy and hold under the tax shelter. So I guess I'm just seeking some general advice on where to start, and if starting with an SD Roth is a good idea or not. Thanks!
