Hi,
My name is Julia and I work with Heather Seitz at the Real Estate Training Academy.
I’m sure you’re very busy, so I won’t take up much of your time.
In a nutshell, we are in the process of a major overhaul with all of our websites, promotional tools, and follow up materials and, consequently, she ’s asked me to contact you to see if you have any current projects that you’re promoting for which you are looking for affiliates or jv partners.
Depending on your product, price point, and topic, we have several ways in which can promote for you including:
* Teleseminar
* Email promotion
* Blog review
* Promotion in offline newsletter
In addition, if you have any ideas, we’re always open to discussing anything that makes sense.
At any rate, I hope business is going well for you and I look forward to hearing back from you. Please feel free to email me at julia@realestatetrainingacademy.com at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Julia Knight

Retirement 101 for Realty Professionals and Investors
by Richard Hammarstrom, Waterford Financial Group
The IRA vs. the Personal 401(k)
Surprisingly, the 401(k) is not limited only to large corporations. Since 2001, a personal 401(k) has been available to individuals (sole proprietors, LLCs, small corporations) where there are no employees other than a spouse. In almost all categories, the features of the 401(k) top that of the IRA.
Investing in real estate: You can invest in real estate (houses, condos, land, commercial, etc.) in either an IRA or a personal 401(k). Unlike the IRA, leveraged real estate profits in your 401(k) are not subject to current taxation. Important note: you cannot personally occupy the property.
Annual Maximum Contributions (2009): IRA $6,000 401(k) $51,500
Minimum Contribution: Neither plan has a minimum annual contribution. This allows you to reduce or eliminate contributions in an off year and increase them in a good income year – particularly in your 401(k).
Roth Feature: The Roth 401(k) can be structured to allow both pre-tax as well as Roth contributions within the same plan. Remember, Roth distributions can be tax-free!
Asset Protection: Unlike the traditional IRA, your 401(k) can protect you from predatory creditors and lawsuits.
Cash Availability: Unlike the IRA, you can borrow (up to $50,000) from your 401(k) (and pay interest to yourself!) Withdrawing funds from an IRA can be very expensive.
Participant Qualification: Unlike the Roth IRA, the 401(k) has no personal income ceiling to limit participation
Next time: Checkbook control – Yes, you can be in charge!
May be re-printed with permission. Waterford Financial Group, LLC, offers a personalized Roth 401(k) pension plan, with checkbook control. They can be reached at 800/327-8800 or securelyretired@aol.com Note: this column provides general information only. Laws vary from one state to another. For advice on a specific matter, consult your attorney or CPA.
