This type of IRA allows you the most flexibility. You may roll the proceeds back into a 401k plan if you want to utilize a loan provision. However, for tax reasons you should not make annual contributions to this IRA. If making annual contributions becomes important to you, simply open another contributory IRA.
So if you see yourself in the above, realize what you are doing, and either move forward and do something or stop wasting everyone's time, including your own, and resign yourself to the life you have. Remember, it's no one fault but your own that you have the problems you do, especially if you do nothing to change them.
When done correctly, the deals can very easily be assimilated into your normal work day. As you do your other work, you take calls from tenant buyers on your properties, give them the information on the particular property they are calling on, qualify them, get credit checks done, and show property on your time schedule, not theirs. Again organization and time management skills come into play along with re-vamping your materials to work more efficiently.
