The amount you withdraw is still included in your taxable income if you are withdrawing from a 401k or a Traditional IRA.  

If your area has snow, ice etc. it will make it even worse.If it's a straight shot not as bad up the hill and down.

I looked into doing an FHA into a 4plex here the problem is that everything is going for cash offers or traditional financing at the worst.

I don't want to do Traditional Real Estate anymore!

Strategy by  buying the non-performing loan through new concept of  using "The carrot and the stick.Improving the Short Sales success rate , sharing the financial gain with owner who traditionally get nothing at closing. this a new concept  of resolution with the bank from the back end in a win-win-win process.

I would look to use that good W2 income and savings by buying some solid residential rentals with traditional financing.

I went traditional financing withers properties that were light cosmetic rehabs.

The larger more traditional companies can be a bit of a pain IMHO sometimes, but if they are a 100% commission house, then it generally doesn't matter.  

These are big changes.This is true for traditional Fannie/Freddie loans, but not necessarily the case for portfolio lenders, rehab loans, or hard money.

This is the term for a rental property that is being leased out by the day or week rather than a traditional long-term lease.
