I moved all of her old retirement money into a self directed IRA/Solo 401K and started putting her money to work through real estate lends.

Board collected those funds and put them in Operating instead of Reserves.

They have one fund called the Ekahi fund which Jessi who commented above is in.

I have met some private investors that are interested in helping me with the funding of my flip, but I haven't found any properties yet.

When dealing with federal, state, and local NOFA (notice of funds availabilities), do government funds allocated for affordable housing often get depleted from too many developers requesting funds for new projects?

The fund itself is separate than these individual contracts.

We'll only do it if we can access the funds immediately. 

Yes, 401(k) plans, IRAs, SEP-IRAs and all other kinds of retirement plans are still the backbone of your wealth accumulation, especially if they are self-directed.

I even bought 3 properties in one day using the HELOC to fund the down payment on each of those purchases. 

funds only go into interpleader after months of sitting in escrow. the court just does not hand the money to the seller either.. if not agreed upon the funds go to the state etc.
