2. Relationships
3. Follow-through

Here’s how the system works:

1. Systems: The foundation on which you’ll build your wealth. Follow a proven system and stick to it. It must be a system that has been proven to work in your geographic area and focuses on the type of property in which you want to invest.

What’s involved in your 401K rollover when it happens? For the most part, a 401K rollover occurs at the time of retirement or when you change jobs.

You can accomplish this by way of a ‘trustee to trustee’ transfer. This moves your 401K from where it is now directly into an IRA. These types of direct rollovers are totally tax-free and you’re not held to any tax liabilities. You also have no limit on the amount of cash you can rollover.
