Traditionally has met at Best Western Suites, 2000 Beach St., Fort Worth, Texas 76103 on Thursday nights.DFW REI Club – dfwreiclub.com – Meets about 2x-4x month, normally on Saturday morning from about 9am-12noon at Manhattan Plaza 6850 Manhattan Blvd, Suite 205 Fort Worth, TX 76120.

That model is more of a traditional agent split model, with supporting broker services that are designed specifically for property management.  

It is snowing now, here in NJ, and as I was walking outside and going to my computer to go on BP, I was thinking that this site is like a well worn path in the snow: the pioneers struggled to make a path, and those following get to enjoy an easier path already formed by others. 

Does it have more of a traditional or contemporary feel to it?   

The first property I purchased was a traditional sale and I put a loan on it through Wells Fargo. 

Such institutions provide the necessary processing services to document non-traditional asset investments with an IRA and will act purely as the processing layer. 

Besides going the traditional route and asking a bank for a loan, is there some other creative way to make this happen by leveraging my existing equity?

And in the podcast and in other places I keep hearing people say they get hard money lenders or put up their own capital or some other form of financing to originally purchase and reno a house and then refi with a traditional lender.
