With the credit market tightening more than I have ever seen, I questioned how investors are able to get investment property financing. Good news is that I found two lenders who are working with investors to finance property here in Kansas City. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you their contact info.

We just posted an ad on Loopnet today about an 8-property cash-flow package we are offering here in Kansas City, MO. Let us know if you'd like to take a closer look!

We are looking at another major drop in the stock market today because of the continuing tightening credit market, now worldwide in its effect. More than ever, our REIT (real estate investment trust) MONEY is more important to sellers of homes nationwide. REITs are not like banks.

People worldwide are pulling their cash out of banks and thus freezing up the capital that normally is needed to make loans. REITs operate from investor funds already put into the REITs. REITs only make money by USING the money, not holding on to it like banks.

REITs don't leverage Loans from the Federal Reserve and other banks as the banks and lenders have to. This is why more and more people are joining HSA. Sellers can't sell without fluid capital from some source. You can be that source.

You still have time to position yourself in this market and reap the benefits only the "insiders" are privy to.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday night at 8pm EST go to Choose HSA to join a live webcast to learn how you can get started today.

Now more than ever many people with 401(k) accounts are considering what to do. While 401(k)'s have some advantages, they are quite disadvantaged compared to select types of IRA accounts. It is suggested that a person who wants to rollover a 401(k) plan to an IRA choose a self-directed IRA account. There are many positive advantages to this choice, and this I'll explain why it is better.

An aspect of this worth talking about here is the ability to have a self-directed 401(k). Though this sounds similar to a self-directed IRA, it is quite different. For one,, although investment options are more varied with a self-directed 401(k), there are still many limits to what can be done. Some employer plans impose limits on the portion of the account that can go into the self-directed part of the plan.

For example, an employer might only allow 1/4 of an account to go into the self-directed plan while the remainder stays in the standard 401(k). This limits your control over your own money and makes it more complicated. Also, 401(k) plans, regardless of type, are tied to your employer's corporation. An employer might choose to switch to a new plan, or a new company, or make other changes unfavorable to employees holding 401(k) plans. Converting to an IRA is advantageous because all the money goes into the new plan, and you have the flexibility of choosing the account counselor in order to suit your individual needs.

One of the most compelling reasons to convert the 401(k) plan to an IRA is to allow for greater diversity in investment choices. If converting to a traditional IRA, a big part of this benefit is lost, as traditional IRA types also have considerable limitations on what assets can and cannot be invested into it. It would be in your best interests to go all the way and choose a plan that allows for the widest selection of choices.

Self-directed IRA's are also better because they allow full control of the money by you, the account holder. Any IRA is better than a 401(k) plan in this regard to some degree, as 401(k) plans are fundamentally limited by their structure of being linked with a certain employer and company. This means the company sets things up in order to achieve the highest benefits possible for itself, and your best interests, unfortunately, are not always kept at the top of the priority list. However, a self-directed IRA is also the best way to go.

This form of IRA has the account managed by a custodian who helps out with everything; however, does not control what happens in the account. When you aren't limited by any third party, highest-performing investments can be chosen for the benefit of whoever has all the money in the account. Equity Trust Company is one example of a self-directed IRA custodian. A self-directed IRA is simply the best choice for rolling over a 401(k).
