Dr. Schiller is the Founder, CEO and Chief Scientist of Location, Inc. He is responsible for inventing the search and neighborhood matching algorithms that powers www.NeighborhoodScout.com.

After having been forced to take a little time away from recording new episodes, I am back to pick up where I left off. On this episode I take a moment to reflect on how real estate has provided me with the TIME freedom to spend with my father who has been saddled to a hospital bed for over seven (7) months up until his unfortunate passing early this month. I also address three listener questions on the best way to get started in real estate investing. Another question about a lender’s ability to accelerate a loan using the “Due on Sale” clause — and how to avoid it. And finally an interesting question about an IRA exit strategy when turning 70 1/2 and you are required to make the minimum required disbursements (MRD).
