Using a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) allows pre-tax dollars to grow tax-deferred in real estate, but limits flexibility due to IRS rules and potential UBIT on leveraged properties.Investing through a Roth IRA offers tax-free growth and no RMDs, but funding limits and restrictions apply.

As others have mentioned, there are a lot of rules you will need to follow so please make sure you’re educated. 

It is delinquent enough (Greater than 90 days but below 120 days(can't file first legal until after the 120th day by federal rule (Except under very very specific circumstances)) to where the lender or servicer has sent the breach letter (Notice of pending foreclosure) with an expiration date that the loan will be referred to a foreclosure filing (Trustee/attorney) if the borrower(s) don't cure the breach within that defined period of time.* A notice of default is not a letter sent by a creditor saying they are late.

So does the book provide a loophole to the three property limitation to the “mortgage origination” rule (Dodd Frank)?

It is the IRS rules around short term rentals.Loophole - A way of avoiding or escaping a cost or legal burden that would otherwise apply by means of an omission or ambiguity in the wording of a contract or law.

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

Makes total sense to me. before this whole situation I had presented them with a written lease that clearly outlines the rules for visitors. i.e no more than 5 days in a row no more than 20 days per year...
