This Cash-Flowing Midwestern Market Has Everything You Need to Succeed

A gem in the Midwest is emerging as one of the best cash-flow markets in the country. This city is experiencing steady employment growth, a diverse economy, and home prices well below the national median.

What President Trump's Policies Could Mean For Your Retirement Accounts

President Trump is reviving policies that limit ESG investing, prioritize financial factors in fiduciary decisions, and propose tax changes that could impact Social Security and retirement withdrawals. If you’re using a self-directed IRA or solo 401(k) to invest in real estate, expect more scrutiny and documentation requirements. With these shifts, investors may need to rethink their strategies to maximize tax advantages and ensure long-term financial security.
