Hi I am an young an eager entrepreneur and looking to buy an apartment building in an tax sale .

If this works for Grant Cardone and every other wealthy entrepreneur then It will work for you.

@Joe SplitrockIt's pretty easy to verify who is correct based on the Schedule E instructions... 

I also own a senior citizen concierge business so I’m an entrepreneur all the way through and through!

This is an entrepreneur's game of cart before the horse and horse before the cart at once--place property under contract not knowing if the deal will happen and spending at-risk soft cost dollars. 

If you're a young person who is 100% dedicated to being a real estate entrepreneur, pulling the money out could be decent seed capital for starting your investment business.If you're a bit older and just looking to grow your net worth, doing a self directed account and not taking the massive hit probably makes more sense.

Entrepreneurs sometimes lose everything but they know how to get investors, how to start a business, etc. 

I used to think that the pro's just threw their money at everything but I've found through mentors and my own success that resourcefulness is what successful entrepreneurs and investors use to become successful. 

Instructions are typically in the MLS or on a computerized showing service.
