Also, Roth IRAs are much more flexible and accessible than 401(k)s.

I hear that I should only consider markets I can access physically on a regular basis or can visit many times to "learn inside and out." 

I typically ask to see the pay history and any servicing comments, along with any other collateral files that are easily accessible to the seller, before I make an offer.

You could have "access" to the equity on your property without actually cashing it out.

Along with real estate illusions of just let me teach you and you will be rich in no time..really depends on the student.. you can have 25 taking a class and 5 will excell 15 might trundle along at 5 will do nothing. its not easy without capital or access to partners with capital when your starting out.

Looks like the sba and treasury has denied multifamily owners from accessing PPP funding.

Not having enough access to capital is the #1 reason people fail in this business.

@Doug SmithThe most successful investors in my market have market knowledge, capital (or access to capital) and resources.

The private money I have access to is still cutting checks and actively closing deals despite covid-19.

The private money I have access to is the same way, plus the property needs to be NOO.
