He bought a $500 Ukulele and deposited the $1500 into a RothIRA via mutual funds.

Get started by utilizing your highest and best use (your day job) to save for the 20% down payment for a conventional loan to acquire a single-family home rental. Build a network of people whom you can trust to mitigate risk in the investments. Connect with Lane: http://simplepassivecashflow.com/
