**Positron: ¡¿otro IDE para R?! Yo ya me he cambiado** Los programadores y usuarios de R en general, tenemos la suerte de poder elegir entre un buen número de opciones para que cada uno use R a su gusto. Yo empecé con StatET en Eclipse, pero pronto cambié a RStudio, que ha sido mi IDE favorito durante mucho tiempo, y creo que el de muchos colegas. En julio de 2025 Posit lanzó la beta de Positron, y desde entonces muchos se preguntan si merece la pena cambiar (otra vez, ahora que ya nos sabemos RStudio). En esta presentación contaré mi experiencia con Positron, que ya es mi IDE favorito, repasando las características que utilizo a diario, diferencias con RStudio, algunas curiosidades, y cómo me ayuda Positron Assistant.

That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix. They’re wrong. This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way). ### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook** We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid. ### **What You’ll Learn** Amanda will walk through: **Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)** * How to structure the deal correctly * How expenses must be handled * When UBIT may apply **Wholesale within a retirement account** * How assignments work * What type of income it creates **Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale** * How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs * How to structure notes properly * How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account ### **The Core Idea** There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts. This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.** ### **Who This Event Is For** * Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules * Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources) * People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds ### **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)* **Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)* **Food:** Free food included **FREE meetup.
